- 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. Explain what the horizontal asymptote means in terms of the original 1000 fish. d. What is the vertical asymptote for the catch equation? Does the pole of the equation have any meaning in terms of the fish population?arrow_forwardGiven the function R(x)=x+1x4 , find the values of x that make the function less than or equal to 0.arrow_forwardThe number N of bacteria in a refrigerated food is given by NT=8T214T+200,2T12 where T is the temperature of the food in degrees Celsius. When the food is removed from refrigeration, the temperature of the food is given by Tt=2t+2,0t5 where t is the time in hours. a. Find (NT)t. b. Find the time when the bacteria count reaches 1000.arrow_forward
