Suppose that 30 deer are introduced in a protected wilderness area. The population of the herd can be approximated by ()= 30+2 1+.05 , where is the time in years since introducing the deer. Write the equation of the horizontal asymptote for this function. Also, interpret what this asymptote means in the context of the problem (in terms of the deer population and the number of years since the deer were introduced into the wilderness area).

At the olympic games, many events have several rounds of competition. one of these events is the men's 100-meter backstroke. the upper dot plot shows the times (in seconds) of the top 8 finishers in the final round of the 2012 olympics. the lower dot plot shows the times of the same 8 swimmers, but in the semifinal round. which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.

Billy plotted −3 4 and −1 4 on a number line to determine that −3 4 is smaller than −1 4 is he correct? explain why or why not?
