980=800e^r
98= 80e^r
49 =40e^r
e^r = 49/40
r = ln(49/40)
r = about .20294
r=20.29% growth rate
P(t) = 800e^0.20294t
5000 = 800e^.20294t
25/4 = e^.20294t
.20294t = ln(25/4) = 1.83258
t = 9.03 years to reach 5,000
Mary D.
asked 04/14/22Biologists stocked a lake with 800 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species in that lake) to be 10000. The number of fish grew to 980 in the first year.
a)Find an equation for the number of fish P(t) after t yearsP(t)=
.b) How long will it take for the population to increase to 5000 (half of the carrying capacity)?It will take__________ years.
