Consider the following systems of rate of change equations:System A(dx/dt)= 3x(1-(x/10))- 20xy(dy/dt)= -5y+(xy/20)System B(dx/dt)= 0.3x-(xy/100)(dy/dt)= 15y(1-(y/17))+25xyIn both of these systems, x and y refer to the number of two different species at time t. In particular, in one of these systems the prey are large animals and the predators are small animals, such as piranhas and humans. Thus it takes many predators to eat one prey, but each prey eaten is a tremendous benefit for the predator population. The other system has very large predators and very small prey.

The biologist has a second culture to examine. she knows that the population of the culture doubles every 15 minutes. after 1 hour and 15 minutes, her assistant found that 80,000 bacteria were present. a) what was the size of the initial population? b) predict the size of the culture at t=3 hours. what was the size of the population at 40 minutes? explain and justify your answers. c) create a graph of the population as a function of time. find an equation that can be used to predict the size of the population at any time t. d) examine the rate at which the bacteria culture is growing. how fast is the culture growing after 1 hour? after 1.5 hours? after 2 hours? use a time interval of h = 0.01 hours to estimate these rates. interpret these rates in terms of the context of the problem situation. how do these three rates compare?

Which equation represents the function on the graph?
