What is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you won't need to use the derivative?

geerky42 (geerky42):

You do. You need to find the value of \(\dfrac{dP}{dt}\) at \(t=1988-1960\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're correct. 1) take derivative 2) plug in t, which is still 1988-1960

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm lost haha. I was sick the day we went over this.

geerky42 (geerky42):

Bascially, you need to know how much population change at exact moment \(t = 1988-1960\): To find the rate of change in population, you just take derivative of P with respect to t. Tada! you now have formula P'(t) which tells you the rate of change in population at t. You need to know the value of P' at t = 1988 - 1960

geerky42 (geerky42):

Do you know how to find \(P'\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P(t+h)-P(t)/h?
