Tiny marine organisms reproduce at different rates. Phytoplankton doubles in population twice a day, butforaminifera doubles every five days. If the two populations are initially the same size and grow exponentially,how long does it take for(a) The phytoplankton population to be double the foraminifera population.(b) The phytoplankton population to be 1000 times the foraminifera population.

A lush forest has 100 foxes and 2 rabbits. The fox population doubles every year and the rabbit population triples every year. The foxes agree not to hunt the rabbits until they are outnumbered by the rabbits. -Let t be the number of years that pass, and come up with two exponential expressions that model the fox population and rabbit population respectively. -The rabbits will equal (and then shortly outnumber) the foxes midway through some year. Find the value of t such that the two populations are equal, accurate to four decimal places, and the populations of each animal at that time to the nearest whole number.
The small mail-order firm Sea’s Beginning has one phone line. An average of 60 people per hour call in orders, and it takes an average of one minute to handle a call. Time between calls and time to handle calls are exponentially distributed. If the phone line is busy, Sea’s Beginning can put up to c - 1 people on hold. If c - 1 people are on hold, a caller gets a busy signal and calls a competitor. Sea’s Beginning wants only 1% of all callers to get a busy signal. How many people should it be able to put on hold, that is, what is the required value of c?
