The population of salmon next year is given by
f ( S ) = Ser ( 1 - S / P),
where S is this year's salmon population, P is the equilibrium population, and r is a constant that depends upon how fast the population grows.
Find f ' ( S0) and solve the equation f ' ( S0) = 1, using a calculator to find the intersection of the graphs f ' ( S0) and y = 1.
Find the population for which the maximum sustainable harvest occurs if r = 0.4 and P = 750.
