[2.0816.66 Points]
If a constant number hof fish are harvested from a fishery per unit time, then a model for the population P(t)of the fishery at time tis given by
dPdt=P(a-bP)-h,P(0)=P0
where a,b,h, and P0 are positive constants. Suppose a=5,b=1, and h=4.
Show that the differential equation becomes
dPdt=-(P-4)(P-1)
Using substitution, we have the differential equation dPdt=P(1vv-4vvP)-4vv. Simplifying and factoring, we now have
dPdt=-(P2-5P+4)vv
=-(P-4)(P-1)
Solving the differential equation, we obtain equilibrium solutions of
