(a) Answer The value of the derivative of the rabbit is zero in both cases. Explanation The number of rabbits is at its highest on day 40 and it is also clear from the graph the derivative at day 40 is zero. Again, it is clear from the graph that the number of rabbits approaches its lowest value as x increases also approaches zero. Therefore, the value of the derivative of the rabbit is zero in both cases. (b) To determine To find: the value of the derivative of the rabbit population in both condition. Answer The required graph is shown below. Explanation Given: The general equation is y = ( x − a ) ( x + b ) . As it is clear from the figure (b) the derivative reaches a maximum on day 20 and it is also clear from the graph (a) the population of rabbits is 1700 . Again, it is clear from the graph (b) the derivative a minimum on around day 63 . On that day, according to graph (a), the population of rabbits is about 1300 . Therefore, the rabbit size of the rabbit population are 1700 and 1300 respectively.

Minimization

In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…

Maxima and Minima

The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.

Derivatives

A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …

Concavity

In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Question

Chapter 3.1, Problem 23E

(a)

To determine

To find: the value of the derivative of the rabbit population in both condition.

(a)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 23E

The value of the derivative of the rabbit is zero in both cases.

Explanation of Solution

The number of rabbits is at its highest on day 40 and it is also clear from the graph the derivative at day 40 is zero.

Again, it is clear from the graph that the number of rabbits approaches its lowest value as x increases also approaches zero.

Therefore, the value of the derivative of the rabbit is zero in both cases.

(b)

To determine

To find: the value of the derivative of the rabbit population in both condition.

(b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 23E

The required graph is shown below.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The general equation is y=(x−a)(x+b) .

As it is clear from the figure (b) the derivative reaches a maximum on day 20 and it is also clear from the graph (a) the population of rabbits is 1700 .

Again, it is clear from the graph (b) the derivative a minimum on around day 63 . On that day, according to graph (a), the population of rabbits is about 1300 .

Therefore, the rabbit size of the rabbit population are 1700 and 1300 respectively.
