A model that describes the population of a fishery in which harvesting takes place at a constant
Question:
A model that describes the population of a fishery in which harvesting takes place at a constant rate is given by
dP/dt = kP - h,
where k and h are positive constants.
(a) Solve the DE subject to P(0) = P0.
(b) Describe the behavior of the population P(t) for increasing time in the three cases P0 > h/k, P0 = h/k, and 0 < P0 < h/k.
(c) Use the results from part (b) to determine whether the fish population will ever go extinct infinite time, that is, whether there exists a time T > 0 such that P(T) = 0. If the population goes extinct, then find T.
