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.

- Three engineers are independently estimating the spring constant of a spring, using the linear model specified by Hooke’s law. Engineer A measures the length of the spring under loads of 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 lb, for a total of five measurements. Engineer B uses the same loads, but repeats the experiment twice, for a total of 10 independent measurements. Engineer C uses loads of 0, 2, 4, 8, and 12 lb, measuring once for each load. The engineers all use the same measurement apparatus and procedure. Each engineer computes a 95% confidence interval for the spring constant. If the width of the interval of engineer A is divided by the width of the interval of engineer B, the quotient will be approximatelyarrow_forwardThree engineers are independently estimating the spring constant of a spring, using the linear model specified by Hooke’s law.

(b) Find the corresponding linear system near each critical point. (c) Find the eigenvalues of each linear system. What conclusions can you then draw about the nonlinear system? (d) Draw a phase portrait of the nonlinear system to confirm your conclusions, or to extend them in those cases where the linear system does not provide definite information about the nonlinear system.

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).

These steps must be applied for 4, 5, and 1 hour respectively to produce one unit of iron; 4, 4, and 1 hour respectively to produce one unit of lead; and 1, 1, 5 hours respectively to produce one unit of kryptonite. Because of limited access to equipment, the oiling and separation phases can each be in operation for a maximum of 38 hours per week, and the mixing process can be in operation for a maximum of 39 hours per week. The company makes a profit of $25 per unit of iron, $40 per unit of lead, and $35 per unit of kryptonite. Assuming that the demaind for each metal is unlimited, how many units of each metal should the company produce each week to maximize its profit? Number of units of iron = Number of units of lead = Number of units of kryptonite =arrow_forward
