Question

Transcribed Image Text:The population of treated mosquitoes comes in thousands, in a tropical rain forest at
time m, in months, is demonstrated by the following function:
8+m², if 0< m < 3
m² , iƒ 0 < m < 3
24
р (т) —
3 + m², if 3 < m < 6
This function describes a sudden change in the population at time m=3 because of a
tragic event caused by forest fire.
A. Sketch the graph of p(m)
lim p(m) and lim p(m)
m→3+
B. Evaluate m→3-
C. Determine how many treated mosquitoes were eliminated by the fire.
D. What is the time, when the population recovers to the amount they were before
the fire?
