10 The population of lyrebirds in a Victorian national park is observed for one year.
At time t weeks after observation begins, the number of lyrebirds N can be
πt
modelled by the equation N = asin + c . The initial population of lyrebirds is
26
300, and during the first part of the observational period, the population falls to a
minimum of 210 before starting to rise again.
a Write down the value of c.
b Show that a = –90.
c Find the maximum number of lyrebirds, and state the time at which it occurs.
d Sketch the graph of N against t over the 52 weeks of the year.
e For what length of time is the number of lyrebirds 350 or more? Give your
answer correct to the nearest day.
f Find the average rate of increase in the lyrebird population over the period
during which the population rises from its minimum number to its maximum
number.
