Invasion and extermination
a certain country is being infested by rodents that can be modelled using
dp/ dt= rp −k
where p(t) is the population of rodents, t is the time in weeks, r is the relative growth rate of rodents and k is the weekly rate at which exterminators can remove rodents.
the following estimates are available
• the relative growth rate is r = 0.1 per week.
• the extermination rate is k = 200 rodents per week.
• there are currently p(0) = 3,000 rodents in the population.
questions
1. what is the equilibrium rodent population? is this equilibrium stable or unstable?
2. use separation of variables to find the general solution and then also give the particular solution.
3. using the above particular solution, estimate what the rodent population will be after 8 weeks. (give the exact formula and a numerical approximation.)
4. the government goes bankrupt and cannot pay the exterminators, so the extermination rate drops to k = 0. what is the doubling time of the rodent population in this case? (give the exact formula and a numerical approximation.)

On her way to work, mrs. larsen gets a green light at a certain traffic light only 30% of the time. she wants to find the probability that she will get a green light at this traffic light all five mornings that she travels to work next week. use the following randomly generated list of 200 five-digit numbers to answer the questions and find the probability. select the digits you will use to represent a favorable outcome. how many favorable outcomes are on this list? what are they? given this simulation, what is the probability that mrs. larsen will get a green light at this traffic light all five mornings next week?
