Question
the total redfish population in theGulf of Mexico between 1989 and 1999 is approximated by the function f (t) = 5.303 t^2 - 53.977t+253.8, where f (t) is measured in thousands of metric tons and t is measured in years,with t=0 correscponsing to the beginning of 1989.
what was the rate of change (f'(t)) of the redfish population at the beginning of 1994?
what was the rate of change of the redfish population at the beginning of 1996?
fishing restrictions were imposed on December 7, 1994. were the conservation measures effective? Explain why by using the reates of change found in parts 1 and 2.
***please show all steps***
Explanation / Answer
f(t) = 5.303 t^2 - 53.977 t + 253.8
f'= 10.606 t - 53.977
f'(1994) = 10.606 * 5 - 53.977
= -0.674
f'(1996) = 10.606 * 7 - 53.977
= 20.265
yes the conservation measures effective. we can see that in 1996, the redfish population was increasing at the rate of 20265 per year.
