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!!!

I need the steps to this, please. It says solve for x. Each figure is a parallelogram. Show your work.
Trava [24]
With any parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. This is another way of saying that they cut each other in half.

FH is one diagonal that is split into two equal pieces by the other diagonal EG.

The two parts of FH (KH and KF) are congruent to each other, so KH = KF. They combine back to FH


By the segment addition postulate
KH + KF = FH
KH + KH = FH .... KF has been replaced with KH (works because KF = KH)
2*KH = FH

Now use substitution
2*KH = FH
2*15 = FH .... replace KH with 15 (since KH = 15)
2*15 = 4x-2 ... replace FH with 4x-2 (since FH = 4x-2)

and solve for x
2*15 = 4x-2
30 = 4x-2
30+2 = 4x-2+2 ... add 2 to both sides
32 = 4x
4x = 32
4x/4 = 32/4 ... divide both sides by 4
x = 8
