Name: Mussels & bem A section of a river currently has a population of 20 zebra mussels. The population of zebra mussels increases 60 % each month. What will be the population of zebra mussels after 2 years? 9 10 # of months # of mussels 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 o Graph your data. Remember to title your graph. What scale should be used on the y-axis? What scale should be used on the x-axis? Exponential Growth Equation y = a(1+r)*

In a national park, the current population of an endangered species of bear is 80. Each year, the population decreases by 10%. How can you model the population of bears in the park? # of years # of bears 9 10 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ° 1 Graph your data. Remember to title your graph. What scale should be used on the y-axis?

On Feb. 8, this year, at 6am in the morning all UiB meteorology professors met to discuss a highly unfortunate and top-urgent crisis: Their most precious instrument, responsible for measuring the air temperature hour-by- hour, had failed - what if the Bergen public would find out? How would they plan their weekend without up-to-date air temperature readings? Silent devastation - and maybe a hint of panic, also - hung in the room. Apprentice Taylor, who - as always - was late to the meeting, sensed that this was his chance to shine! Could they fake the data? At least for some hours (until the measurements would work again)? He used to spend a lot of time online and thus knew the value of fake data, especially when it spread fast! He reminded the crying professors of a prehistoric project with the title "Love your derivatives as you love yourself!" - back then, they had installed top-modern technology that not only measured the air temperature itself, but also its 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and…
