Chapter 1.1, Problem 11E

MacQuarie Island is a small island about half-way between Antarctica and New Zealand. Between 2000 and 2006, the population of rabbits on the island rose from 4,000 to 130,000. Model the growth in the rabbit population R(t) at time t using an exponential growth model
   d R d t = k R
where t = 0 corresponds to the year 2000. What is an appropriate value for the growth-rate parameter k, and what does this model predict for the population in the year 2010. (For more information on why the population of rabbits exploded, see Review Exercise 22 in Chapter 2.)

An airplane flies due west at an airspeed of 428 mph. The wind blows in the direction of 41° south of west at 50 mph. What is the ground speed of the airplane? What is the bearing of the airplane? 428 mph 41° 50 mph a. The ground speed of the airplane is b. The bearing of the airplane is mph. south of west.
Rylee's car is stuck in the mud. Roman and Shanice come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Roman and Shanice get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 377 lb on the car. Roman and Shanice are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 119 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 20.2°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 119 lb 20.2° 377 lb a. The resultant force is (Tip: omit degree notations from your answers; e.g. enter cos(45) instead of cos(45°)) b. It's magnitude is lb. c. It's angle from the positive x-axis is
Complete the table below. For solutions, round to the nearest whole number.
