Starting with an initial value of p(0)equals30, the population of a prairie dog community grows at a rate of pprime(t)equals30minusstartfraction t over 2 endfraction (in units of prairie dogs/month), for 0less than or equalstless than or equals60.

a. what is the population 9 months later?
b. find the population p(t) for 0less than or equalstless than or equals60.

a) The population of prairie dogs after nine months is 280.

b) P(t) = 30 + 30 · t - t²/4 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 60

Explanation:

Hi there!

We have the following information:

The initial population is P(0) = 30.

The rate of growth of the population is the following:

P´(t) = 30 - t/2 where

a) Let´s find the function of the population of prairie dogs P(t). For that, let´s integrate the P´(t) function between t = 0 and t and between P = 30 and P

P(t) = ∫P´(t)

P´(t) = dP/dt = 30 - t/2

Separating variables:

dP = (30 - t/2) dt

∫dP = ∫(30 - t/2) dt

P - 30 = 30 · t - t²/4

P(t) = 30 + 30 · t - t²/4

The population of prairie dogs at t = 9 months will be equal to P(9):

P(9) = 30 + 30(9) - (9)²/ 4

P(9) = 280 prairie dogs

The population of prairie dogs after nine months is 280.

b) P(t) = 30 + 30 · t - t²/4 (it was obtained in part a).

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary

that would be because of both gravity and friction. so     c
