Homework For Week 3, 1/18-1/21

We are all challenged on every hand to work untiringly to achieve excellence in our lifework. Not all men are called to specialized or professional jobs; even fewer rise to the heights of genius in the arts and sciences; many are called to be laborers in factories, fields, and streets. But no work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, "Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well." -Martin Luther King Jr.

A certain island is inhabited by rabbits and alligators. As time progresses the rabbits breed, but the alligators also eat the rabbits. Suppose that the rate of change of the rabbit population is directly proportional to the square of the time which has passed, and inverserly proportional to the rabbit population at that time. If there are thirty rabbits at time zero, and no rabbits are alive at time three, then what is the population of rabbits at time 2? (Round to the nearest whole rabbit.)
