Question 6: 10 Marks
When two animals have a predator/prey relationship, the population of each over time
can be modelled with a sinusoidal function. If the population of prey is large, the
population of predators increases since there is an adequate food supply. As the
population of predators increases, the population of prey decreases. Eventually, there is
not enough food for the predators, and they also begin to die off. As the number of
predators declines, more prey survive, and the population of prey increases again.
Research shows that the population of predators follows the period of the population of
1
prey, with a phase shift of 4 a cycle to the right. Suppose that the predators have a
minimum population of 50 and a maximum population of 100.
