The number of bass in a lake is given by

P(t) = 2800/1 + 6e^−0.05t

where t is the number of months that have passed since the lake was stocked with bass.

(a) How many bass were in the lake immediately after it was stocked?
400 bass

(b) How many bass were in the lake 1 year after the lake was stocked? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) __________

I've got the answer to A just not B.

1 answer

and (c) is 2800

but (b) you actually have to calculate

first you do not mean what you typed
you mean
P(t) = 2800/ ( 1 + 6e^−0.05t )

now it t = 12 months

p = 2800 / ( 1 + 6 /e^.6)

= 2800 / 4.29

= 652
