Table 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?
2. As ultrasound propagates into the body, absorption and scattering result in a decrease (or attenu- ation) of the intensity. This can be described by the attenuation coefficient, a. In an experiment to investigate this attenuation in the chest wall of humans, measurements were conducted in which the attenuation of ultrasound through sample human tissue was measured as a function of the ultrasound frequency, f [1]. (a) The figure below (adapted from [1]) shows a set of measurements of the attenuation coef- ficient as a function of the frequency. Fit a linear function to the data points shown. You should draw an approximate line of best fit, determine the slope and intercept of your fit, and then quote the final equation for your line. 12 10 2 1 3 4 5 Frequency (MHz) Attenuation coefficient (dB/cm)
How would a small change in your average gas mileage (in miles/gallon) change the number of gallons of gas you use per month? More specifically, do the following: (a) Give numerical evidence that supports or refutes the claim that a small change in your average gas mileage results in an approrimately small change in the number of gallons of gas you use each month. Choose the distance you drive each month (and keep this constant) and then at least two significantly different values for the average gas mileage. Approrimate the proportionality constant in each case (if it erists) and write the proportionality approxima- tions. Be sure to define the appropriate variables and pay particular attention to units. (b) Using your results from part (a), approximate the proportionality con- stants that relate the small relative change in the number of gallons of gas

Suppose a certain variable star has a period of 10 days. The average brightness of the star is 3.1 magnitudes, and the maximum variation from the average is 0.4 magnitude. Assuming that the variation in brightness is simple harmonic, find an equation that gives the brightness of the star as a function of time. (Let y be the brightness in magnitudes and let t be the time in days. Suppose that when t = 0 the brightness is 3.1 magnitudes and increasing.) y =
Kleiber's Law states that the metabolic needs (such as calorie requirements) of a mammal are proportional to its body weight raised to the 0.75 power.¹ Surprisingly, the daily diets of mammals conform to this relation well. Assuming Kleiber's Law holds, answer the following questions. (a) Write a formula for C, daily calorie consumption, as a function of body weight, W. NOTE: Use k for the constant of proportionality. C(W) = (b) If a human weighing 150 pounds needs to consume 1800 calories a day, estimate the daily calorie requirement of a horse weighing 740 lbs and of a rabbit weighing 11 lbs. NOTE: Round your answers to the nearest calorie. Daily calorie requirement of a horse = Daily calorie requirement of a rabbit = calories Choose one calories (c) On a per-pound basis, which animal requires more calories: a mouse or an elephant? ¹S.

a. Your friend Anna was absent in your online math class yesterday when your teacher discussed how to find the derivative of a function. She got sick and was not able to join in the class through google meet. Your teacher gave her a module or a self-learning material. The next day, Anna came knocking on your door and begged you to help her. On a one whole sheet of paper, write a procedural text discussing how to get the derivative of the function f(x)=v4x +5. Discuss each step.
In the triangle pictured, let A, B, C be the angles at the three vertices, and let a,b,c be the sides opposite those angles. C a A B C According to the law of sines," you always have: b_sinB a sinA Suppose that a and b are pieces of metal which are hinged at C. At first the angle A is 1/4 radians=45° and the angle B is 7/3 radians = 60°. You then widen A to 46°, without changing the sides a and b. Our goal in this problem is to use the tangent line approximation to estimate the angle B. (a) Notice that the angle B is a function of the angle A; i.e. B=f(A). Consequently, it makes sense to calculate the implicit derivative: (b) Calculate when A=1/4 and B=x/3; leave your answer in EXACT FORM: dB dA (c) Write the linear approximation of fat A= x/4: (A - 1/4)+ (d) Using (c), when A= 46°, B is approximately degrees; either answer exactly or to three decimal places.

Suppose the high tide in Seattle occurs at 1:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at which time the water is 16 feet above the height of low tide. Low tides occur 6 hours after high tides. Suppose there are two high tides and two low tides every day and the height of the tide varies sinusoidally. (a) Find a formula for the function y = h(t) that computes the height of the tide above low tide at time t, where t indicates the number of hours after midnight. (In other words, y = 0 corresponds to low tide.) h(t) = (b) What is the tide height at 11:00 a.m.?_____ft
