\begin{enumerate}

\item The length $x$, in centimeters, of brook trout is modeled by the equation
\[
x=66-58e^{-.04t}
\]
where $t$ is the age of the fish in months.
You catch a 55~cm trophy brook trout.
How old is it?  (Answer in sentences!!)

\item  Volkswagen camper owners have found that the more stickers on their buses,
the more likely they are to be pulled over by the police and illegally searched.
It is somehow determined that if you drive your VW bus from coast to coast, 
with $x$ stickers on your bus, the chance $P$, in percentage,
that you will be pulled over and illegally searched at least once is
\[
P=88 (.11)^{.93^x}
\]
\begin{enumerate}
\item  What is your chance of being illegally searched with no stickers on your bus?
(Sentences!!)
\item  How many stickers can you have on your bus if you are willing to accept a 
$40\%$ risk of being illegally searched.
(Sentences!!)
\end{enumerate}

\item  Get a decimal approximation of $\log_{17} 1205$, 
and check your answer using exponentials. (Show your work.)

\item  
Suppose that you have \$5000 and you find somewhere to invest it at 19\% annual
simple interest.
How long do you need to invest your money in order to have \$7500?
