2. Write an equation to model the fish population y in a fishery that has a linear growth rate of 40 new fish
each season x, and an initial population of 1250 fish.
After how Inany seasons will the population reach
1690 fish? Write an equation for a second fish
population that grows by 60 new fish each season
with an initial population of 1 100 fish. After how
many seasons will they have the same population?
Graph your equations in the coordinate plane.

High school seniors with strong academic records apply to the nation’s most selective colleges in greater numbers each year. because the number of slots remains relatively stable, some colleges reject more early applicants. suppose that for a recent admissions class, an ivy league college received 2851 applications for early admission. of this group, it admitted 1033 students early, rejected 854 outright, and deferred 964 to the regular admission pool for further consideration. in the past, this school has admitted 18% of the deferred early admission applicants during the regular admission process. counting the students admitted early and the students admitted during the regular admission process, the total class size was 2375. let e, r, and d represent the events that a student who applies for early admission is admitted early, rejected outright, or deferred to the regular admissions pool. suppose a student applies for early admission. what is the probability that the student will be admitted for early admission or be deferred and later admitted during the regular admission process?
