A certain species of alligators is to be introduced into a swamp, and wildlife experts estimate the population will grow to P(t)=(779)3 t/4P(t)=(779)3 t/4, where t represents the number of years from the time of introduction.
Step 1 of 2 :
What is the tripling-time for this population of alligators?
the relationship between aphids, A, ( prey) and ladybugs, L, (preditor) can be described as follows:
dA/dt=2A=0.01AL
dL/dt=-0.5L+0.0001AL
a) find the two critical points of the predator-prey equations
b) use the chain rule to write dL.dA in terms of L and A
c) suppose that at time t=0, there are 1000 aphids and 200 ladybugs, use the Bluffton university slope field generator to graph the slope for the system and the solution curve. let 0 be less than or equal to A who is less than or equal to 15000 and 0 is less than or equal to L which is less than or equal to 400.
According to a study conducted in 2003, the total number of U.S. jobs (in millions) that are projected to leave the country by year t, where t = 0 corresponds to 2000, is

- A scientist is studying three different cultures of bacteria {labeled "A", "B" and "C"} and wants to mathematically model the bacterial change of each type. To do this, the scientist decides to collect data for 25 consecutive days and builds the following scatter diagrams where the horizontal axis corresponds to "t" and the vertical axis to the amount of bacteria present in the culture P = P (t) Help the scientist decide which mathematical model (initial value problem) to use for each of the three types of crops. To do this, associate each of the graphs above with one of the following initial value problems. Crop type A a) dP/dt = k with P(0)=P0 and k>0.b) dP/dt = k with P(0)=P0 and k<0.c) dP/dt = kt with P(0)=P0 and k>0.d) dP/dt = kt with P(0)=P0 and k<0.e) dP/dt = kP with P(0)=P0 and k>0.f) dP/dt = kP with P(0)=P0 and k<0.g) dP/dt = kP(1-P/M) with P(0)=P0 and M, k>0.h) dP/dt = kP(1-P/M) with P(0)=P0 and M, k<0.

Which of the following does NOT pertain to the meaning of δ0? δ0 determines whether there is wage discrimination against women. If δ0>0 then given the same level of education for men and women, women earn more than men on average. If δ0>0, then given the same level of education for men and women, women earn less than men on average. δ0 reflects the wage difference based on gender only.arrow_forward
