Suppose P(t) represents the population of a certain mosquito colony, where t is measured in days. The current population of the colony is known to be 588 mosquitos; that is, P(0) = 588. If P'(0) = 127 mosquitos per day, estimate the size of the population in 17 days. 2747 Preview Mosquitos (round to nearest whole number)

Rate of Change
The relation between two quantities which displays how much greater one quantity is than another is called ratio.
Slope
The change in the vertical distances is known as the rise and the change in the horizontal distances is known as the run. So, the rise divided by run is nothing but a slope value. It is calculated with simple algebraic equations as:
