An island is colonized by immigration from the mainland, where there are 500 species. Let the number of species on the island at time t (in years) equal y, where y = f(t). Suppose the rate at which new species immigrate to the island is = 0.02 500 - y dt Use Euler's method with h = 0.5 years to approximate y when t= 5 years if there were 10 species initially. There will be approximately species when t= 5 years. (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number as needed. Round all intermediate values to six decimal places as needed.)
