    The document describes a population model for rabbits with an initial population n0. It asks the reader to: 1) Calculate the population after 12 years if the initial population is 12 rabbits 2) Graph the population function n(t) for various initial populations from 50 to 12,000 rabbits over 15 years 3) Analyze the graphs to describe the behavior of the population and make a prediction about the long run population

    1.  Assume that a population of rabbits behaves according to the model 
    300 
    n(t ) =
    æ 300  ö
    0.05 + ç - 0.05 ÷ e -0.55 t 
    è n0  ø 
    where  n 0  is the initial population. 
    a)  If the initial population is 12 rabbits, what is the population after 12 years? 
    b)  Draw graphs of the function  n(t ) for  n 0  = 50, 500, 2000, 8000, and 12000 in the viewing 
    window [0, 15] by [0, 12000]. 
    c)  From the graphs in part b) describe the behavior of the rabbit population. Does it grow 
    without bound? Does it approach a certain value? Make a prediction about the rabbit 
    population in the long run.
