Question
A species of animal is discovered on an island. Suppose that the population size of the species can be modeled by the following function, where time t is measured in years. P(t) = 520/1 + 8e-0.3t Find the initial population size of the species and the population size after years.

Answer:
The initial population size is of 58.
The population size of the specie after t years is given by:
*** QuickLaTeX cannot compile formula: P(t) = \frac{520}{1 + 8e^{-0.3t} *** Error message: File ended while scanning use of \frac . Emergency stop.Step-by-step explanation:
Population size of the specie:
The population size of the specie after t years is given by:
*** QuickLaTeX cannot compile formula: P(t) = \frac{520}{1 + 8e^{-0.3t} *** Error message: File ended while scanning use of \frac . Emergency stop.Initial population size
This is P when
, that is,
. So
*** QuickLaTeX cannot compile formula: P(0) = \frac{520}{1 + 8e^{-0.3*0} = \frac{520}{1+8} = \frac{520}{9} = 57.7 *** Error message: File ended while scanning use of \frac . Emergency stop.Rounding to the nearest number, 58
The initial population size is of 58.
