A particularly virulent form of human-adapted mad cow disease sweeps across the world transforming most of the world into ravenous zombies. The zombie population obeys the law of uninhibited growth. A small group of survivors find an uninfected haven. On the first day in the safe haven, 15 people ate contaminated hamburger and turned into zombies. Ten days later, there are 300 zombies. What is the size of the zombie population after 16 days? Use A(t)=A0e^kt, where t represents the number of days that have passed since the first zombies appeared. Show your work.
An experiment is to be conducted examining the growth rate of juvenile coho salmon under different temperature and food conditions. To get reliable results we need to have 40 fish in each set of conditions. If there are four different kinds of food and three distinct temperatures of interest, and if we wish to conduct the experiment separately for males and females, how many fish will we need?

B. A certain culture is able to sustain 100 colonies of bacteria. Initially, there were 10 colonies in
the culture. After 5 hours, the colonies increased to 25. How many colonies will there be in 24
hours? Assume that the bacteria follow the limited growth model.

To do this, the scientist decides to collect data for 25 consecutive days and builds the following scatter diagrams where the horizontal axis corresponds to "t" and the vertical axis to the amount of bacteria present in the culture P = P (t) Help the scientist decide which mathematical model (initial value problem) to use for each of the three types of crops. To do this, associate each of the graphs above with one of the following initial value problems. Crop type A a) dP/dt = k with P(0)=P0 and k>0.b) dP/dt = k with P(0)=P0 and k<0.c) dP/dt = kt with P(0)=P0 and k>0.d) dP/dt = kt with P(0)=P0 and k<0.e) dP/dt = kP with P(0)=P0 and k>0.f) dP/dt = kP with P(0)=P0 and k<0.g) dP/dt = kP(1-P/M) with P(0)=P0 and M, k>0.h) dP/dt = kP(1-P/M) with P(0)=P0 and M, k<0.
