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!!!

This graph shows a proportional relationship.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 0.3, or K=0.3.

Step-by-step explanation:
The chart I attached shows points that are plotted on the proportional line. In order to find the constant of proportionality from these points, you have to divide the amount of change by the number of years. For example, 3 divided by 10 or 6 divided by 20. This results in 0.3, which means that every year, there is 0.3 centimeters of change in the sea level.
