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!!!

An educator believes that new reading activities for elementary school children will improve reading
Damm [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the scores shown in the back-to-back stem-and-leaf display. So we do not know what the numbers are and we do not have any reference at all

What we can do to help you is to comment on the following general terms.

There have been previous and similar experiments or projects like this in other schools in America. These results suggest that the new activities are better because extra or special reading comprehension programs better prepare students to understand what they are reading and comprehend more than basic ideas of the text.

Students that participate in these programs develop a better sense to understand and like what they are reading, considerably increasing their focus and attention.

These programs have resulted positively when trying to improve the marks of the students, compared to other traditional approaches.

Solve for x in the literal equation -20=xy +z.​
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

-(20+z)/y = x

Step-by-step explanation:

-20=xy +z

Subtract z from each side

-20 -z = xy+z-z

-20 -z = xy

Divide each side by y

(-20 -z)/y = xy/y

Factor out a negative

-(20+z)/y = x
