Given question is incomplete; find the complete question,

An initial population of 80 fish is introduced into a lake. This fish population grows according to a continuous exponential growth model. There are 216 the lake after 12 years.

(a) Let t be the time (in years) since the initial population is introduced and let y be the number of fish at time t. Write a formula relating y to t. Use exact expressions to fill in the missing parts of the formula. Do not use approximations.

(b) How many fish are there 3 years after the initial population is......? Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Expression for the population growth will be, $y=80e^{0.08277t}$ and there will be 103 fishes in the pond after 3 years.

(a). Given in the question,

Initial population of fish = 80Final population of fish = 216Time taken to reach the final population = 12 years

Expression for the population after time 't' is given by,

$y=P_0e^{rt}$

Here, P_0= Initial population

Duration

Expression for the population,

$y=P_0e^{rt}$

$216=80.e^{12r}$

$e^{12r}=\frac{216}{80}$

$12r[\text{ln(e)}]=\text{ln}(2.7)$

$r=\frac{0.99325}{12}$

r=0.08277

Expression for the population growth will be,

$y=80e^{0.08277t}$

(b). For t = 3 years,

$y=80.e^{0.08277\times 3}$

$=80\times 1.28186$

=102.55

$\approx103$

Therefore, expression for the population growth will be $y=80.e^{0.08277t}$ and population of fish after 3 years will be nearly 103.

(a) $y=80e^{\dfrac{ln(2.7)t}{12}$

(b)301

Step-by-step explanation:

By the exponential population model,the population P(t) at any time t is given as: $P(t)=P_{0}e^{rt}$ where $P_{0}$ is the initial population.

P(12)=y=216 at t=12 years

$P_{0}=80$

$P(t)=P_{0}e^{rt}$

$216=80e^{12r}\\\frac{216}{80} =e^{12r}$

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides

12r=ln(2.7)

$r=\frac{ln (2.7)}{12}$

$y=80e^{\dfrac{ln(2.7)t}{12}$

(b) After 16 years

At t=16

$y=80e^{\dfrac{ln(2.7)t}{12}}\\y=80e^{\dfrac{ln(2.7)X16}{12}}\\y=300.77$

After 16 years, there are approximately 301 fishes in the lake.
