1. Find the domain of the function.
2. Determine whether f is even, odd, or neither.
3. The graphs of and are given.
a) For what values of is ?
b) Find the values of and .
4. It makes sense that the larger the area of a region, the larger the number of species that inhabit the
region. Many ecologists have modeled the species-area relation with a power function and, in
particular, the number of species S of bats living in caves in central Mexico has been related to the
surface area A measured in of the caves by the equation
(a) The cave called mission impossible near puebla, mexico, has suface area of .
How many species of bats would expect to find in that cave?
(b) If you discover that species of bats live in cave estimate the area of the cave.
