Rabbits were introduced onto an island. The number of rabbits, PPP, t t\,t years after they were introduced is modelled by the equation
P=80e15t,t∈R,t≥0. P = 80e^{\frac{1}{5}t}, \quad t \in \mathbb{R}, \quad t \geq 0. P=80e51t,t∈R,t≥0.Write down the number of rabbits that were introduced to the island.
Find the smallest whole number of years after introduction at which the model predicts more than 1000 rabbits.
Find dPdt\displaystyle \frac{dP}{dt}dtdP.
Find P P\,P when dPdt=50\displaystyle \frac{dP}{dt} = 50dtdP=50.
