A botanist is cultivating a rare species of plant in a controlled environment and currently has 3000 of these plants. The population of this species that the botanist expects to grow next year, N_("next year") , can be estimated from the number of plants this year, N_("this year") , by the equation below. N_("next year")=N_("this year")+0.2(N_("this year"))(1-(N_("this year"))/(K)) The constant K in this formula is the number of plants the environment is able to support. According to the formula, what will be the number of plants two years from now if K = 4000 ? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Consider Galileo's method of measuring the speed of light using two lanterns. To get an accuracy of about 10%, the time taken by the experimenter in closing or opening the shutter should be about one tenth of the time taken by the light in going from one experimenter to the other. Assume that it takes 1/100 second for an experimenter to close or open the shutter. How far should the two experimenters be to get a 10% accuracy ? What are the difficulties in having this separation ?
