suppose the population of sardines is currently 6 million, and the population of sharks is 367. use to estimate what the population of sharks will be if the population of sardines decreases to 5 million.?
Suppose that the number of sardines is currently 6 million, and the number of sharks is 367. Use dy/DX to estimate the shark population if the number of sardines drops to 5 million. dy/dx is 5y (3-x)/2x (2y-3). Thanks in advance.

original equation is =3*107 ,,,not 10 as said in comments. if you plug in x=6*106 and y=367
correction in bold
dy/dx=-1.25 at same x,y meaning sharks increase by one whole shark for each decrease
in one tiny sardine. Something is wrong.
If sardines decrease by 106, then sharks increase by 1.25*106 approximately
using simple linear approximation or using equation (constant on right = 3*107)
