Question 1162527: An island has a population of possums which are being trapped.
The number of possums on the island is given by P(t) = 5000 - 4t2 - 150t, 0 < t < 10.
where P is the number of the possums, and t is the time in months after the trapping begins.
Find out the decreasing rate of the number of possums 6 months after.

.
This problem assumes that you know Calculus.
So, take the derivative P'(t) of the function P(t),
and evaluate the derivative P'(t) at t= 6.
In this way, you will get the answer to the problem's question.
Good luck and have fan (!)
