- Eastern Pacific Yellowfin Tuna Studies to fit a logistic model to the Eastern Pacific yellowfin tuna population have yielded N=1481+36e2.61t where t is measured in years and N is measured in thousands of tons of fish. a. What is the r value for the Eastern Pacific yellowfin tuna? b. What is the carrying capacity K for the Eastern Pacific yellowfin tuna? c. What is the optimum yield level? d. Use your calculator to graph N versus t. e. At what time was the population growing the most rapidly?arrow_forwardNewtons Law of Cooling Newtons law of cooling states that the rate of change of temperature of an object is proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and the surrounding medium. Thus, if T is the temperature of the object after t hours and TM is the constant temperature of the surrounding medium, then dTdt=k(TTM) where k is a constant. Use this equation in Exercises 58-61. Show that the solution of this differential equation is T=Cekt+TM where C is a constant.arrow_forwardU.S. Hispanic Population A recent report by the U.S. Census Bureau predicts that the U.S. Hispanic population will increase from 35.6 million in 2000 to 102.6 million in 2050. Source: U.S. Census Bureau. Assuming the unlimited growth model dydt=ky fits this population growth, express the population y as a function of the year t. Let 2000 correspond to t=0.arrow_forward
