*10. The size P of a certain insect population at time t (in days) obeys the function P(t) = 100 e 0.04 (a) Determine the number of insects at t=0 days. (b) What is the growth rate of the insect population? (c) What is the population after 10 days? (d) When will the insect population reach 140? (e) When will the insect population double? (a) What is the number of insects at t= 0 days? insects (b) What is the...
3. A certain population of short lived insects is known to reproduce at a rate proportional to their current population. They are also known to reproduce at a rate proportional to the difference between the carrying capacity of their environment (the maximum population their envirnment can support) and their current population. The carrying capacity is proportional to their food supply, which changes with the season. The amount of food given in thousands of pounds is sin(t) + 2, where t...
In a town whose population is 2600, a disease creates an epidemic. The number of people N infected t days after the disease has begun is given by the function N(t)- 2600 1+34 -0.6t. Complete parts a) through c) below a) How many are initially infected with the disease (t = 0)? (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) b) Find the number infected after 2 days, 5 days, 8 days, 12 days, and 16 days. The number infected...
A small lake is stocked with a certain species of fish. The fish population is modeled by the function P = 12 1 + 4e−0.4t where P is the number of fish in thousands and t is measured in years since the lake was stocked. (a) Find the fish population after 4 years. (Round your answer to the nearest whole fish.) fish (b) After how many years will the fish population reach 6000 fish? (Round your answer to two decimal...
A population numbers 14,000 organisms initially and grows by 8.8% each year. Suppose P represents population, and t the number of years of growth. An exponential model for the population can be written in the form P = a.b' where P = If 24500 dollars is invested at an interest rate of 10 percent per year, find the value of the investment at the end of 5 years for the following compounding methods, to the nearest cent. (a) Annual: $...
This exercise uses the population growth model. The count in a culture of bacteria was 400 after 2 hours and 25,600 after 6 hours. (a) What is the relative rate of growth of the bacteria population? Express your answer as a percentage. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 104 % (b) What was the initial size of the culture? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 200 x bacteria (c) Find a function that models the number...
In the year 2000, the population of a certain country was 276 million with an estimated growth rate of 0.5% per year a. Based on these figures, find the doubling time and project the population in 2120 b Suppose the actual growth rates are ust 0.2 percentage points lower and higher than 0.5% per year 0.3% and 0.7%). What are the resulting doubling times and projected 2120 population? a. Let y(t) be the population of the country, in millions, t...
A species of fish was added to a lake. The population size P(t) of this species can be modeled by the following function, where t is the number of years from the time the species was added to the lake. P(t)= 1200 -0.42t 1+ 3e Find the initial population size of the species and the population size after 9 years. Round your answers to the nearest whole number as necessary. Initial population size: fish Population size after 9 years: fish...
