uppose p ( t ) p(t) represents the population of a certain mosquito colony, where t t is measured in days. the current population of the colony is known to be 578 578 mosquitos; that is, p ( 0 )



Answer :

The size of the population of mosquito follows an exponential model.

the size of the population in 10 days is 1370

The size of the population in 10 days is 1370

The given parameters are:

p(0) = 574

p'(0)= 50

An exponential function is represented as:

p(t) =p(0) * e^ rt

So, we have:

p(t)=574*e^rt

Differentiate

p'(t)=574*r*e^rt

Substitute 0 for t

50=574 r

Divide both sides by 574

r=0.087

The function becomes

p(t)= 574*e^rt

   = 574*e^0.087 t

In 10 days, t = 10.

So, we have:

p(10)=574*e^0.87

Solve

p(0)=1370

Hence, the size of the population in 10 days is 1370
