Often environmentalists capture an endangered species and transport the species to
a controlled environment where the species can produce offspring and regenerate its population. Suppose that six American bald eagles are captured, transported to Montana,
and set free. Based on experience, the environmentalists expect the population to grow according to the model where t is measured in years.
(a) Determine the carrying capacity of the environment.
(b) What is the growth rate of the bald eagle?
(c) Use a graphing utility to graph.
(d) What is the population after 3 years?
(e) When will the population be 300 eagles?
(f) How long does it take for the population to reach one-half of the carrying capacity?
Evaluate each expression using the graphs of y = f(x) and y = g(x) shown in the figure.

(a) (g o f)(-8)
(b) (fog)(-8)
(c) (g o g)(7)
(d) (g o f)(-5)
What is the interest due if $500 is borrowed for 6 months at a simple interest rate of 6% per annum?
In Problems , the graph of an exponential function is given. Match each graph to one of the following functions.

Income Taxes The function
represents the 2011 federal income tax T (in dollars) due for a 鈥渕arried filing jointly鈥 filer whose modified adjusted gross income isg dollars, where
(a) What is the domain of the function T?
(b) Given that the tax due T is an increasing linear function of modified adjusted gross income g, find the range of the function T.
(c) Find adjusted gross income g as a function of federal income tax T. What are the domain and the range of this
function?
