The insects are food for the tree frogs. The model has nullclines at N=0, N=500, P=0, and P=75. Suppose the small region of the rainforest currently has 800 insects and 50 tree frogs. In the short term, the model predicts the insect population will • and the tree frog population will At another point time, a researcher finds the region has 300 insects and 70 tree frogs.

The production process is divided into three departments: fabricating, packing, and shipping. The hours of labor required for each operation and the hours available in each department each day are shown in the table. Suppose that the profit on each widget is $24 and the profit on each whammy is $26. How many widgets and how many whammies should be made each day to maximize the company's profit?

Derive the 4 x 4 system of equations required to fit the model y = f(x; co, C1, C2, C3) = co+ qr+c2r + C3r +e, by minimizing the mean squared error, based on a data set {(ci, y), i = 1,2, .,n}. b).

We will build a two-compartment model for the available nitrogen in the system. Measure time, t, in days. Let x, represent the amount of nitrogen held by soil fungi, and let X, represent the amount of nitrogen held by the plant. Assume that in one day the fungi gain (from the atmosphere) 1 g of nitrogen. Assume also that in one day they pass 50% of their free nitrogen to the plant, and they use up 20% of this nitrogen for growth. In the plant, 90% of the nitrogen is used up (e.g., for growth) each day, but no nitrogen is returned to the fungal partner. Complete parts (a) through (c).

One of the processes uses wind energy (and so requires no fuel), while the other two consume a combination of biofuel and natural gas. Each process also requires some amount of labour and emits some amount of carbon dioxide. The amount of biofuel (in Mg) and natural gas (in mcf = mega cubic feet) consumed, the labour required (in person-hours), the carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted (in Mg), and the power generated (in MWh) per day of operation of each process is as follows: Electricity Process generated 20 32 85 1 2 3 CO₂ Labour produced required 0 20 12 13 29 18 Biofuel required 0 10 30 Natural gas required 0 15 40 Each MWh of electricity can be sold at £144 and there is no limit on the amount that can be sold. Over its next planning period, the company has 320 person-hours for labour, 75 Mg of biofuel, and 90 mcf of natural gas available.arrow_forward
