10.23. Question. An umbrella-shaped island has a population of 499 healthy people. Alice, who is injected with the T-virus, enters the island on day 0. It is known that anyone infected with the T-virus will become a zombie after 24 hours. Assume that the infected (zombies are considered infected) will spread the virus (through biting) and no one on this island can escape from it. The rate of virus transmission is proportional to the product of the number of infected and non-infected. Thus, if x(t) denotes the number of the infected on day t, then dx dt = kx(500 — x). On day 10, it is observed that 20 people are already infected. Answer the following questions. (a) How many zombies are on the island on day 16? (b) On day 20, how many people are infected but not yet turned into a zombie? (c) A rescue boat with 50 available seats is to be sent to the island. What is the earliest day the boat should be sent to ensure it can rescue all survivors (those not infected)?

Paved roads Suppose the rate of change of the percent P of U.S. public roads that are paved can be modeled by dP 938.9 dt (0.0852t + 35.5)² percentage points per year, where t is the number of years past 1960. (b) For selected years from 1960 to 2008, the data in the table show the percent of U.S. public roads that are paved. Witht = 0 representing 1960, graph these data and the model found in part (a). (c) Find the modelľ's predicted percent for 2015.

2. The following table compares dollar values per standard cord (128 cubic feet) to values per thousand board-feet (MBF) under the Scribner scale for trees 12 inches in diameter. Value per cord $20 $24 $28 $36 Value per MBF Scribner $68.00 $81.60 $95.20 $122.40 a. Make a table showing the average rate of change for each interval of values. b. Would you expect the value per MBF Scribner to have a limiting value? C. If you are selling timber from trees 12 inches in diameter, which is the better price: $25 per cord or $71 per MBF Scribner? What if you are buying the timber?
3. Radar guns measure the rate of distance change between the gun and the object it is measuring. For instance, a reading of "55 mph" means the object is moving away from the gun at a rate of 55 miles per hour, whereas a measurement of "-25 mph" would mean that the object is approaching the gun at a rate of 25 miles per hour. If the radar gun is moving (say, attached to a police car) then radar readouts are only immediately understandable if the gun and the object are moving along the same line. If a police officer is traveling 60 mph and gets a readout of 15 mph, he knows that the car ahead of him is moving away at a rate of 15 miles an hour, meaning the car is traveling 75 mph. (This straight-line principle is one reason officers park on the side of the highway and try to shoot straight back down the road. It gives the most accurate reading.) Suppose an officer is driving due north at 30 mph and sees a car moving due east, as shown in the picture below. Using his radar gun, he…
