Chapter 9.4, Problem 5E
The Pacific halibut fishery has been modeled by the differential equation
where y(t) is the biomass (the total mass of the members of the population) in kilograms at lime t (measured in years), the carrying capacity is estimated to be M = 8 × 107 kg, and k = 0.71 per year.
- (a) If y(0) = 2 × 107 kg, find the biomass a year later.
- (b) How long will it take for the biomass to reach 4 × 107 kg?

graph where x 1 and x->
1+h (for a small positive value of h, illustrate conceptually). Then,
draw the tangent line to the graph at x=1. Explain how the slope of the tangent line relates to the
value you found in part (a).
(c) In a few sentences, explain what the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x = 1 represents in
the context of the graph of f(x). How does the rate of change of this function vary at different
points?
