SOLUTION: The game commission introduces 50 buffalo into newly acquired state game lands. The population of the herd is given by
N= (10 (5+3t))/(1+.04t)=(30t+50)/(.04t+1) or (30t+50)/(

Question 146973: The game commission introduces 50 buffalo into newly acquired state game lands. The population of the herd is given by
N= (10 (5+3t))/(1+.04t)=(30t+50)/(.04t+1) or (30t+50)/(.04t+1)
where t is time in years. The limiting size of the herd as time increases is given by the horizontal asymptote. What is the limiting size of the herd?
Thank you

where t is time in years. The limiting size of the herd as time increases is given by the horizontal asymptote. What is the limiting size of the herd?
--------
The highest power term in the numerator is 30t
The highest power term in the denominator is 0.04t
-----------
The horizontal asymptote is N = 30/0.4 = 75
------------
The limiting size is 75
