How do we Protect Endangered Species? The projected population P of the new colony t days after the transfer is given by !(#) =!"#$%&$#"."(&. 1.What is the projected population of the colony after 1 year? After 2 years? 2.Now let’s see what happens after many, many years have passed. a.Fill in the table for large values of t. #10,000 100,000 500,000 1,000,000 !(#)b.After many, many years, what do you predict will happen to the insect population? 3.Sketch a graph of the population P as a function of time. 4.Explain the meaning of any asymptotes in the context of this problem. 5.As tcontinues to increase, which grows faster: the numerator of !(#)or the denominator? How do you know? 6.How can you tell just by looking at the equation what the population of insects will do in the long run? A rare species of insect was discovered in the Amazon Rainforest. To protect the species, entomologists (scientists who study insects) declared the insect endangered and transferred a population of 30 insects to a protected area. They now want to study this population over time. t days Population P(365)=1625.7P(730)=1968.82451.62495.I24992499.5limp4)""◦°Ithinkthepopulationwillstabilizeat→°2500insects.*wiwn¥%rHorizontalasymptoteaty=zsoomeansthatthepopulationhasacarryingcapacityandwon'tg¥eF%r9exceed-2500insects.behaviorThenumeratorgrowsfaster.Althoughboththenumerator+denominatorarelinear,thenumeratorhasaslopethat's2500timesbiggerthanthedenominator.Ratioof=2500leadingcoefficients
