You start your Thanksgiving morning doing the Turkey Trot, a 5K run, with friends. Your mom said you need to be at the Thanksgiving celebration by 11:30am to help prepare the side dishes. In order to get there on time, you have to plan ahead. The Turkey Trot starts at 8:00am. You have allotted 1.25 hours after the trot to stretch, and get home. It takes you 0.75 hours to shower and get ready. The drive to the Thanksgiving dinner is 0.9 hours. At what speed (in km/hr) do you need to run the Turkey Trot in order to still be on time to Thanksgiving on time?

The biologist has a second culture to examine. she knows that the population of the culture doubles every 15 minutes. after 1 hour and 15 minutes, her assistant found that 80,000 bacteria were present. a) what was the size of the initial population? b) predict the size of the culture at t=3 hours. what was the size of the population at 40 minutes? explain and justify your answers. c) create a graph of the population as a function of time. find an equation that can be used to predict the size of the population at any time t. d) examine the rate at which the bacteria culture is growing. how fast is the culture growing after 1 hour? after 1.5 hours? after 2 hours? use a time interval of h = 0.01 hours to estimate these rates. interpret these rates in terms of the context of the problem situation. how do these three rates compare?
