Assume that a country, in year 5, has a population level, P, of 14 380 individuals. The country's population has been growing at a constant yearly rate of 2.4%. a) Find the country's initial population size, assuming that we are dealing with discrete time. Then, determine the initial population size assuming continuous time. (You must show all your work!) Are the two initial population sizes similar? Why or why not? b) Now, assume that g is actually 5% and that the initial population level was, in fact, 10,000. Using the Rule of 70, graph the population growth on a ratio scale for the time periods, t = 0, 7, 14, and 28. Label your graph.

A company selling widgets has found that the number of items sold, x, depends upon the price, p at 90000 which they're sold, according the equation z = (0.6p + 1)? Due to inflation and increasing health benefit costs, the company has been increasing the price by $0.06 per month. Find the rate at which revenue is changing when the company is selling widgets at $8 each. Revenue is decreasing by dollars per month Hint: Give your answer as a positive value.
Assume the carrying capacity of the earth is 9 billion. Use the 1960s peak annual growth rate of 2.1% and population of 3 billion to predict the base growth rate and current growth rate with a logistic model. Assume a current population of 6.8 billion. How does the predicted growth rate compare to the actual growth rate of about 1.2% per year?
