In a closed habitat, the population of kangaroos $P\left(t\right)$P(t) is known to increase according to the function $P'\left(t\right)=\frac{t}{2}+9$P(t)=t2+9, where $t$t is measured in months since counting began.

a

Determine the total change in the population of kangaroos in the first $4$4 months since counting began.

b

Solve for $T$T, the number of months it will take from when counting began for the population of kangaroos to increase by $88$88.

The population growth rate of fish is given by $p\left(x\right)$p(x), as shown in the graph below.

The total population growth of fish over $n$n years is given by $\int_0^np\left(x\right)dx$n0p(x)dx as shown in the table below.
