Does anyone know how to do this without graphing: The rabbit population of a small island is given by the function below, where t is the time in months since observation of the rabbit population began. P(t)=110t=0.4t^4+1000 What is the maximum population? Round answer to the nearest whole number. _____rabbits

OpenStudy (amistre64):

to find the maximum of a graph; we usually fall back on taking the derivative

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i believe this is typoed, can you retype it? P(t) = 110t = 0.4t^4 +1000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i need to use the derivative to find this. isnt that calculus. i am in college algebra is there another way to do it?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it depends on the equation, and I think you have this one typoed so I cant be sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):
