The park service that administers a state park estimates that there are 495 deer in the park. They decide to remove deer according to the differential equation dP/dt = −0.1P. a. Show that the solution to the differential equation dP/dt = −0.1P is P = 495e^−0.1t , where t is measured in years and P is the population of deer. Use it to find the deer population in 5 years to the nearest deer.

b. After this 5-year period, no human intervention is taken and the deer population grows again. From that time, the deer population increases directly proportional to 650−P, where the constant of proportionality is k. Find an equation for the deer population P(t) in terms of t and k for this 5-year period.

c. Using the growth model from part b), 1 year later the deer population is 350. Find k.

d. Using the growth model from part b) and the value of k from part c), find lim t→∞ P(t)
