What is a carrying capacity? Mathematically, how does it appear on the graph of a population function?
Let \(y(t)\) be the population of a species that is being harvested, for \(t \geq 0 .\) Consider the harvesting model \(y^{\prime}(t)=0.008 y-h, y(0)=y_{0},\) where \(h\) is the annual harvesting rate, \(y_{0}\) is the initial population of the species, and \(t\) is measured in years. a. If \(y_{0}=2000,\) what harvesting rate should be used to maintain a constant population of \(y=2000,\) for \(t \geq 0 ?\) b. If the harvesting rate is \(h=200 /\) year, what initial population ensures a constant population?
Solve the following initial value problems and leave the solution in implicit form. Use graphing software to plot the solution. If the implicit solution describes more than one curve, be sure to indicate which curve corresponds to the solution of the initial value problem. $$z^{\prime}(x)=\frac{z^{2}+4}{x^{2}+16}, z(4)=2$$
Determine whether the following equations are separable. If so, solve the initial value problem. $$y^{\prime}(t)=e^{t y}, y(0)=1$$
A fish hatchery has 500 fish at \(t=0\), when harvesting begins at a rate of \(b>0\) fish/year. The fish population is modeled by the initial value problem \(y^{\prime}(t)=0.01 y-b, y(0)=500,\) where \(t\) is measured in years. a. Find the fish population, for \(t \geq 0\), in terms of the harvesting rate \(b\) b. Graph the solution in the case that \(b=40\) fish/year. Describe the solution. c. Graph the solution in the case that \(b=60\) fish/year. Describe the solution.
