  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
    +close
    
  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

why would it be 0?

The population of horses on the island converges to 0 as time approaches infinity. This means that the population will eventually diminish to 0 if the given function correctly models the population growth over time, right??

tacit elm
#

that's not the population function

flat tendon
#

Oh

tacit elm
#

that's the derivative of the population function

#

How would i do this problem then?

tacit elm
#

"the equation for the increase in the population..."

#

find the population function

#

and then take the limit

#

Intergrate?

#

then go to infinity?

flat tendon
tacit elm
