A company is considering starting to harvest salmon in a new region. They model the salmon population size in that region by the equation\[ P'(t) = kP(t) - h, \]with the natural growth rate of \( k = 2 \) salmon per year per population and a harvest rate \( h \) salmon per year. The company wants to decide how much salmon to harvest per year. The company estimates that currently there are 1 million salmon in that region. Is it a good idea to harvest salmon at the maximal sustainable rate projected by this model?

Given that the equation and .The objective is to state if it is a good idea to harvest at the…

The shiver-me-Timbers tree farms has 7,800 lumber-quality fast growing trees that are ready to be harvested. The company has a strategy that each year it will harvest 12% of the trees and plant 660 lumber-quality trees during the year. Let n represent the number of years and Yn represent the number of lumber-quality trees on the farm at the end of the year. A) Form the difference equation and initial value that models the timber company's strategy where Yn represent the number of lumber-quality trees on the farm at the end of the year and Yn-1 represent the number of lumber-quality trees on the farm at the end of the previous year. B) solve the difference equation. C) use the solution of the difference equation to find Y36. D) Interpret the results for part c. E) According to the difference equation model, will the tree farm ever reach a point in the future when you have no trees harvest?

5. In a simple model of territory, a single animal defends a circular territory of radius x (miles). The following assumptions are made: • the energy L spent per day in looking for food and defending the territory is directly proportional to the area of the region • the energy G gained per day is directly proportional to the radius x Suppose that L = 3000 calories and G = 3500 calories when x = 1. Find the territorial size that will result in maximum benefit to the animal, that is, maximize the net energy G- L.
