An invasive species of plant appears in a fruit grove at time t=0 and begins to spread. The function C defined by C(t) = 7.6arctan(0.2t) models the number of acres in the fruit grove affected by the species t weeks after the species appears. It can be shown that C'(t) = 38/(25+t2). Does this species have any natural predators in the local ecosystem?

No.
