1. If the 500,000 rats in New York City have 340,000 births per year people probably don’t mind exterminating about 150,000 of them each year. Due to the increased modes of transportation; bus, train and ferry, rats have found easier routes in and out of the city exiting at a rate of about 400 per year. However, about 3 times the number of rats that leave the city enter due to the endless supply of food. What is the estimated growth rate of rats each year?

2. Orca Island, off of the coast of Washington state has become a popular place to visit after the filming of the movie //Free Willy//. The 750 residents of Orca Island found the increase in revenue from tourism to be a great incentive in living there. Before the demand to view Killer Whale in nature, Orca Island was quite a place to retire. Over the past decade, 350 people bought land from the 89 people that had passed away, tearing down their homes and building bigger homes, hotels and businesses. Some natives found the changes unbearable and 11 couples move off the island permanently, never returned. Over this 10 year transition what was the growth rate of Orca Island?
