A population has the following characteristics. (a) A total of 25% of the population survives the first year. Of that 25%, 75% s

urvives the second year. The maximum life span is 3 years. (b) The average number of offspring for each member of the population is 3 the first year, 6 the second year, and 3 the third year. The population now consists of 176 members in each of the three age classes. How many members will there be in each age class in 1 year

Answer:

At the end of year 1,

The first age class has 2112 members.

The second age class has 44 members.

The third age class has 132 members.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are currently

176 members in age class 0

176 members in age class 1

176 members in age class 2

They all die off by age class 3

Starting with the members of age class 0. They produce 3 offsprings each during the first year, leading to 3×176 = 528 new members of age class 0 as at the end of the first year.

Then, of the 176 members of age class 0, only 25% make it to the next age class after a year, that is, only 44 of them.

So, from this group, after a year, age class 0 has 528 members, and age class 1 has 44 members.

Age class 1 group now. Population at the start = 176

They produce 6 offsprings each during that 1 year, that is, 6×176 = 1,056 new members of age class 0 at the end of that year.

Then, the survival rate for those in their second year of living is 75%, hence, 132 of them make it to the next age class.

So, from this group, after a year, age class 0 has 1056 members, and age class 2 has 132 members.

Age class 2 group now. Population at the start = 176

They produce 3 offsprings each during that 1 year, that is, 3×176 = 528 new members of age class 0 at the end of that year.

Then, the survival rate for those in their third year of living is 0%, hence, none of them make it to the next age class.

So, from this group, after a year, age class 0 has 528 members, and they all die off at the end of that 1 year.

So, we now calculate the number of members of each age class now at the end of that 1 year.

Age class 0 = 528 + 1056 + 528 = 2112 members

Age class 1 = 44 members

Age class 2 = 132 members.

Hope this Helps!!!

Find the asymptotes of the function. Select all that apply.
devlian [24]

An asymptote is a vertical horizontal or oblique line to which the graph of a function progressively approaches without ever touching it.

To answer this question we observe the graph. All the values of x and y must be identified for which the graph of the function tends to infinity.

It is observed that these values are:

x = -1

x = 3

y = 0

The first two corresponds to the equations of a vertical line. The third corresponds to horizontal line, the axis of x. It can be seen that although the graph of the function is very close to these values, it never "touches" them
