A conservation organization releases 15 Florida panthers into a game preserve. After 2 years, there are 90 panthers in the preserve. The Florida preserve has a carrying capacity of 240 panthers. (a) Write a logistic equation that models the population of panthers in the preserve. (Round your k to four decimal places. Use t for the time in years.) P = (b) Find the population after 5 years. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 226 ✔ panthers 240 1 + 15e -1.0986t (c) When will the population reach 120? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ✔ yr 2.46 (d) Write a logistic differential equation that models the growth rate of the panther population. Then using Euler's Method, repeat part (b) with a step size of h = 1. Use the initial release population of 15 panthers as your initial value to start Euler's Method. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) dP dt P(5) = = (e) At what time is the panther population growing most rapidly? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Buffalo: Waterton Lakes National Park of Canada, where the Great Plains dramatically meet the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, has a migratory buffalo bison herd that spends falls and winters in the park. The herd is currently managed and so kept small; however, if it were unmanaged and allowed to grow, then the number N of buffalo in the herd could be estimated by the logistic formula N=3151+14e0.23t Here t is the number of years since the beginning of 2002, the first year the herd is unmanaged. a. Make a graph of N versus t covering the next 30 years of the herds existance corresponding to dates up to 2032. b. How many buffalo are in the herd at the beginning of 2002? c. When will the number of buffalo first exceed 300?. d. How many buffalo will there eventually be in the herd? e. When is the graph of N, as a function of t, concave up? When is it concave down? What does this mean in terms of the growth of the buffalo herd?.

Sales of a video game released in the year 2000 took off at first, but then steadily slowed as time moved on. Table 4 shows the number of games sold, in thousands, from the years 20002010. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=1 for the year 2000. Let y represent the number of games sold in thousands. Use logarithmic regression to fit a model to these data. b. If games continue to sell at this rate, how many games will sell in 2015? Round to the nearest thousand.
