ANSWER:

a) 12 cats

b) 232

c) 246

d) 14

EXPLANATION:

Given the expression for number of cats C present at time t:

[tex]C\text{ = }\frac{12.31}{0.05+0.56^t^{}}[/tex]

a) To find the number of cats initially on the reserve, let t = 0

Therefore, substitute 0 for t in the equation

[tex]\begin{gathered} C\text{ = }\frac{12.31}{0.05+0.56^0} \\ \text{ = }\frac{12.31}{0.05\text{ + 1}} \\ \text{ = }\frac{12.31}{1.05} \\ =\text{ }11.72 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Number of cats initially on the reserve are approximately 12 cats

b) C(10):

[tex]\begin{gathered} C(10)\text{ = }\frac{12.31}{0.05+0.56^{10}}\text{ = 232.12} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

C(10) = 232

Here, C(10) means that C is a function of 10. This means at time = 10 years

C)Using function notation to express the number of cats present after 17 years, we have:

[tex]C(17)\text{ = }\frac{12.31}{0.05+0.56^{17}}[/tex]

[tex]C(17)\text{ = }\frac{12.31}{0.05+0.56^{17}}\text{ = }245.94[/tex]

Therefore, number of cats present after 17 years are approximately 246 cats

C(17) = 246 cats

d) In this case, first find the number of cats present in the 10th year and subtract from the number of cats present in the 17th year.

[tex]C(10)\text{ = }\frac{12.31}{0.05+0.56^{10}}=\text{ }232.12[/tex]

From question C above, we know C(17) = 246

Therefore, the increase in cat population to be expected from the 10th year to the 17th year is:

C(17) - C(10) = 246 - 232 = 14 cats
