1. A population of a rare species of toad is being studied.
The number of toads, N, in the population, t years after the start of the study, is modelled
by the equation
900e0.12t
N = 0.12t t 0, t ∈
2e +1
(a) calculate the number of toads in the population at the start of the study,
(1)
(b) find the value of t when there are 420 toads in the population, giving your answer to
2 decimal places.
(4)
(c) Explain why, according to this model, the number of toads in the population can never
reach 500
