Cell Phones Using the CTIA Wireless Survey for1985–2009, the number of U.S. cell phone subscribers (in millions) can be modeled byy = 0.632x2 - 2.651x + 1.209where x is the number of years after 1985.a. Graphically find when the number of U.S.subscribers was 301,617,000.b. When does the model estimate that the number ofU.S. subscribers would reach 359,515,000?c. What does the answer to (b) tell about this model?

Table 6 shows the year and the number ofpeople unemployed in a particular city for several years. Determine whether the trend appears linear. If so, and assuming the trend continues, in what year will the number of unemployed reach 5 people?
Consider a species that occupies a large, but fixed, number of islands. The distribution of the species across all islands is maintained by a balance between local extinctions and local colonization events. Devise a mathematical model (equation) for the relationship between the fraction of islands occupied by the species and time. Be clear to outline the assumptions you make and be sure to describe your key predictions. Explain what each part of the equation represents.

A new coronavirus recently triggered a global pandemic. It spreads from 5 cases in March to tens of thousands by May in the Philippines. Case contamination is comparable to what we call exponential spread. Create a table of values representing the covid19 confirmed cases in the Philippines during the first 15 days of March 2020. You can conduct your research online and then plot the results on a Cartesian plane. You can use paper and pencil or any graphing app that is appropriate. Questions to ponder: In order to slow down the growth, what can you do to the curve? In real-life, what must be done to flatten the curve? _________________

The U.S. Geological Survey monitors and reports on earthquakes, providing daily real-time, worldwide earthquake lists. Some of the information for four of the 105 earthquakes of magnitude 1.5 or greater that occurred on May 10, 2013, is shown in the following table. Magnitude is given on the Richter scale and NST stands for the number of stations that reported the activity on the same earthquake. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
