Write the equation for the optimal prey density (the value giving the maximum rate of prey capture)
Question:
Now suppose that the number of prey that escape increases linearly with the number of prey (the prey join together and fight back). Let p be the number of prey and F(p) be the functional response. The number of prey captured is then F(p) - cp. The constant c represents how effectively the prey can fight.
