calculus related rates problem. Please help?

On a golden eagle preserve the size of the golden eagle population depends upon the size of the population of rodents, the golden eagle’s primary source of food. Suppose that the number of eagles N is given by N=0.004x + 0.008x^2 where x is the number of rodents on the preserve. If the number of rodents available is increasing at the rate of 200 per year, how fast is the golden eagle population increasing when there are 500 rodents on the preserve?

I need help understanding this problem. Thank you

Who should decide if an asteroid needs to be nudged away from impact?

Posted on May 1, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

If we discovered an asteroid was going to impact earth BUT it would only likely cause regional damage (ie not a global killer) who gets to decide to take action against it?

Ramifications: Get it wrong and it strikes somewhere else on earth – becomes someone elses problem!

Do you want to live in the wild?

Posted on May 1, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I’ve spent 6 months in the wilderness alone in BC, Canada. It was great! The only problem I encountered was loneliness…I have spent the last 3 years planning to go for good and we are leaving March 1st 2011. There are 6 of us total so far but I’m sure 1 or 2 will back out when the time comes…If your serious about leaving our screwed up society and you don’t want to go alone, please feel free to contact me at sydan66@gmail.com before March 1st, 2011 and I will fill you in on the plan. I have everything covered from laws and regulations, to locations, to hunting and other survival skills. I spent 2 years in the army and have been studying the wilderness for several years. It’s time to go, the only other question is who’s coming with?

Thanks,

Dan

How many fruit trees should I plant?

Posted on April 9, 2012 by admin| 7 Comments

I want to plant peaches, pears, apples, plums, and apricots. We are a family of four and I want to make juice, preserves, and can/freeze/dry enough fruit to last us throughout the year. But I don’t want to waste a bunch of food either….I have five acres, so space is not a problem. How many of each tree do you think I should plant. We are planting dwarf trees that will grow to be 6-8 feet tall.
