Question 937134: A species of fish was added to a lake. The population size
P(t)
of this species can be modeled by the following exponential function, where
t
is the number of years from the time the species was added to the lake.
P(t)=1500+17e−0.4t
Find the initial population size of the species and the population size after
9
years.
Round your answers to the nearest whole number as necessary. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P(t)=1500+17e^(−0.4t)
initial population size: 1500
P(9) = 1500e^(-3.6) = 50, the population size after 9 years.
