Table 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?

If ? = 1.602×10!!"?, calculate the value of h from the slope (include the unit). The slope is = -7.94x10^13 and the intercept is = 8.21x10^14

1. A tennis ball is dropped from the top of a building that is 1545 feet tall, with an initial velocity of -30.5 feet per second. Use the position function s(t)=-16t^2+v0t+s0 to help you answer the given questions. a.Write the equations of the position and instantaneous velocity functions. b. What is the average velocity over the first two seconds? c.When does the coin hit the ground? Round your answer to two decimal places. d.What is the velocity of the coin upon impact? 2.find all the values of x for which f(x) will have a horizontal tangent line f(x)=(x-4)/(x^2-7) 3. Find the derivative of the function. g(x)=4x(3x+2)^5 4.

25. (a) Determine whether y = 3. 7* is a linear, power, or exponential function (i.e, choose one column,and fill in the missing values in that column. Linear Function slope = Power Function coefficient = Exponential Function initial value = y-intercept = exponent = b = (b) Determine whether y = is a linear, power, or exponential function (i.e, choose one column,and fill in the missing values in that column.

Solve the problem. Find the equation of the curve for which the second derivative is 6. The curve passes through (1, 10) with a slope of 15. (A y = 3x 2 + 9x (B y = 3x 2 - 9x - 2 © y = 3x 2 + 9x - 2 y = 3x 2

A new fertilizer is being tested on a stalk of corn. The height of the corn is increasing in a linear fashion during the test period. The height of the corn t days after the fertilizer is first applied is given by H = 14 + 1.4t centimeters. Explain in practical terms the meaning of the initial value and growth rate. In practical terms this means "The corn's height when the fertilizer was applied was        and it grows by        ."
