3. Congratulations, you just won the lottery! In one option presented to you, you will be paid one
million dollars a year for the next 25 years. You can deposit this money in an account that will earn
5% each year.
(a) Let M(t) be the amount of money in the account (measured in millions of dollars) at time
t (measured in years). Set up a differential equation that describes the rate of change in the
amount of money in the account. Two factors cause the amount to grow – first, you are
depositing one millon dollars per year and second, you are earning 5% interest.
(b) If there is no amount of money in the account when you open it, how much money will you
have in the account after 25 years?
(c) The second option presented to you is to take a lump sum of 10 million dollars, which you
will deposit into a similar account. Set up a new initial value problem (that is, differential
equation with initial condition) to model this situation.
(d) How much money will you have in the account after 25 years with in this case?
(e) Do you prefer the first or second option? Explain your thinking.
(f) At what time does the amount of money in the account under the first option overtake the
amount of money in the account under the second option?

Steve and Elsie are camping in the desert, but have decided to
part ways. Steve heads north, at 8 AM, and walks steadily at 2
miles per hour. Elsie sleeps in, and starts walking west at 2.5
miles per hour starting at 10 AM.
When will the distance between them be 25 miles? (Round your answer
to the nearest minute.)

If exactly 186 people sign up for a charter flight, Leisure World Travel Agency charges $302/person. However, if more than 186 people sign up for the flight (assume this is the case), then each fare is reduced by $1 for each additional person. Determine how many passengers will result in a maximum revenue for the travel agency. Hint: Let x denote the number of passengers above 186. Show that the revenue function R is given by
R(x) = (186 + x)(302 − x).
-------- passengers
What is the maximum revenue?
$ ----
What would be the fare per passenger in this case?
---- dollars per passenger

7. The Sorry State Lottery requires you to select five different
numbers from 0 through 69. (Order is not important.) You are a Big
Winner if the five numbers you select agree with those in the
drawing, and you are a Small-Fry Winner if four of your five
numbers agree with those in the drawing. (Enter your answers as
exact answers.)
What is the probability of being a Big Winner?
What is the probability of being a Small-Fry Winner?
What is the probability that you are either a Big Winner or a
Small-Fry Winner?

When you cough, your windpipe contracts. The speed, v(r), with which you expel air through your windpipe, depends in the radius, r, of your windpipe. If a is normal (rest) radius of your windpipe, then for 0<r<a. The speed is given by: v(r)=k(a-r)r^2 where k is a positive constant. For an individual, assume a to be constant. a. Find all critical points of v(r). b. what value of r minimizes the speed? Explain briefly using the second derivative test. c. What value of r maximizes the speed, and what is this maximum speed? explain briefly using the first derivative test. d. Consider two individuals, Jay and Dee. Jay's value of a is larger than Dee's value of a. How would Jay's maximum windpipe velocity compare to that of Dee? Explain briefly.
