Limited population growth. A lake is stocked with 400 rainbow trout. The size of the lake, the availability of food, and the number of other fish restrict population growth to a limiting value of 2500 trout. (see Exercise 42 ). The population of trout in the lake after time t , in months, is approximated by P ( t ) = 2500 1 + 5.25 e − 0.32 t . a. Find the population after 0 months, 1 months, 5 months, 10 months, 15 months, and 20 months. b. Find the rate of change, P ' ( t ) . c. Sketch a graph of the function.
