Question

Suppose the population of fish in a lake is modeled by the equation Pt=443e^0.035t , where t is measured in months.(a) What was the initial population used to create this model? (b) According to this model, how long will it take for the population to reach 750? Round your answer to the nearest month.

Answer 1

a) Initial population: 443

b)

Explanation:

The inittialp is found by putting t = 0 into the P(t). This gives
