James is studying the decline of a certain bird species. James’ observations are as follows: Year 1900 1950 1990 2005 Population (in thousands) 6012 72 2 .5 What is the best fit exponential decay equation for this decline? 5=6012(1-0.06)105 At what year did the population first drop below 1,000,000? If this trend continues, what will be the population in 2020?

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the mean value theorem on the given interval? f(x) = 4x^2 + 3x + 4, [−1, 1] no, f is continuous on [−1, 1] but not differentiable on (−1, 1). no, f is not continuous on [−1, 1]. yes, f is continuous on [−1, 1] and differentiable on (−1, 1) since polynomials are continuous and differentiable on . there is not enough information to verify if this function satisfies the mean value theorem. yes, it does not matter if f is continuous or differentiable; every function satisfies the mean value theorem.
