A researcher is studying the population of a particular species of insect in a controlled environment. The initial population is modeled by the function $P(t) = 100e^{0.2t}$, where $P(t)$ is the population size at time $t$ (in days). Due to unforeseen circumstances, the environment is altered, affecting the insect population growth.
b. Explain how the transformations in part (a) affect the long-term behavior of the insect population. Specifically, compare the limiting behavior of $P(t)$ and $Q(t)$ as $t$ approaches infinity.
