C of these fish caught by fishing over the life span of the fish is given by the catch equation C=FM+FN0 where F is the proportion of fish caught annually, M is the proportion of fish that die of natural causes annually, and N0 is the original number of fish F stocked in the lake. If we let x denotes the ratio FM, then the catch equation can be rewritten as C(x)=x1+xN0 Assume that a lake is stocked with 1000 channel catfish a. Write the catch equation for the lake stocked with channel catfish. b. What is the horizontal asymptote for the catch equation? c.

Now lets use a graphing calculator to get a graph of C=59(F32). By letting F=x and C=y, we obtain Figure 7.15. Pay special attention to the boundaries on x. These values were chosen so that the fraction (Maximumvalueofx)minus(Minimumvalueofx)95 Would be equal to 1. The viewing window of the graphing calculator used to produce Figure 7.15 is 95 pixels dots wide. Therefore, we use 95 as the denominator of the fraction. We chose the boundaries for y to make sure that the cursor would be visible on the screen when we looked for certain values. This was accomplished by setting the aforementioned fraction equal to 1 By moving the cursor to each of the F values, we can complete the table as follows. F 5 5 9 11 12 20 30 45 60 C 21 15 13 12 11 7 1 7 16 The C values are expressed to the nearest degree. Use your calculator and check the values in the table by using the equation C=59(F32).
