Spruce budworms are a major pest that defoliates balsam fir. They are preyed upon by birds. A model for the per capita predation

rate is given by f(N)=aNk2+N2 where N denotes the density of spruce budworms and a and k are positive constants. Find f′(N), and determine when the per capita predation rate is increasing and when it is decreasing.

Answer:

f'(N) = a(k² - N²)/(k² + N²)

The function increases in the interval

(-k < N < k)

And the function decreases everywhere else; the intervals given as

(-∞ < N < -k) and (k < N < ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(N)=aN/(k²+N²)

The derivative of this function is obrained using the quotient rule.

Then to determine the intervals where the function is increasinumber and decreasing,

The function increases in intervals where f'(N) > 0

and the function decreases in intervals where f'(N) < 0.

This inequality is evaluated and the solution obtained.

The solution is presented in the attached image.

Hope this Helps!!!

kykrilka [37]
Hiya!

So, 6 billion is 100%. 50% is 3 billion. 25% is 1.5 billion. 20% must be 1.2 billion because 1.2 × 5 is 6. I know that 20% is 1/5 of 100%, and that's how I got my answer.

If you found this especially helpful, I'd appreciate if you'd vote me Brainliest for your answer, if other people did not provide a helpful answer (but, I'm sure they did!). I want to be able to assist more users one-on-one! :)
