- Assume there is a certain population of fish in a pond whose growth is described by the logistic equation. It is estimated that the carrying capacity for the pond is 1700 fish. Absent constraints, the population would grow by 130% per year. If the starting population is given by po = 100, then after one breeding season the population of the pond is given by P1 = After two breeding seasons the population of the pond is given by P2 =arrow_forwardThe relative growth rate of a certain bacteria colony is 28%.

- Initially, 10 grams of a radioactive substance were found in a sample. It was observed that 20% of the initial amount of radioactive substance disintegrated after 2 hours (that is, 8 grams remain after 2 hours). Find the half-life of the radioactive substance (that is, the time it takes for one- half of the initial amount to disintegrate) if the rate of disintegration of the radioactive substance is In z 1 2 0.7 proportional to the amount of the substance present at time t. You must begin your solution process by 3 considering the proportional relationship presented below. Use the natural logarithm table to the right 1.1 to provide an approximate answer.
