The raccoon population on a small island is observed to be given by the function P(t) = 117t - 0.5t^4 + 700 where t is the time (in months) since observations of the island began. (a) The number of raccoons on the island when first observed is raccoons. (b) The rate at which the raccoon population is changing when first observed is (c) The maximum population attained months after initial observation. (d) The maximum population is raccoons.
