Take your time to read the entire paper before you begin to write, and read each question
carefully. Remember that certain questions are worth more points than others. Make a note
of the questions that you feel confident you can do, and then do those first: you do not have
to proceed through the paper in the order given.
• The exam consists of two parts. Part A contains multiple choice questions. There are
no part marks for multiple choice questions. Part B contains long-answer questions.
• Cellular phones, unauthorized electronic devices or course notes are not allowed during
this exam. Phones and devices must be turned o↵ and put away in your bag. Do not
keep them in your possession, such as in your pockets. If caught with such a device or
document, the following may occur: you will be asked to immediately leave the exam
and academic fraud allegations will be filed, which may result in you obtaining a 0 (zero)
for the exam. By signing below, you acknowledge that you have ensured that you are
complying with the above statement: Signature:
• Only the faculty-approved calculators (TI-30X, TI-34X, Casio FX-260X and Casio FX-
300X) are allowed. All others will be confiscated.
• The correct answer requires justification written legibly and logically: you must con-
vince me that you know why your solution is correct. Answer these questions in the
space provided. Use the backs of pages if necessary.

Gompertz function, which is a solution of the di↵erential equation

(d) If ten moose are introduced into the environment, how many moose will there be even-
tually?
(e) Again supposing an initial population of P (0) = 10, use Euler’s method with a step size
of t = 1 to estimate P (5).

Question 16. [10 points] There is a war for survival between werewolves (L) and vampires
(V ) that thankfully leaves humans una↵ected (phew!). Since a vampire can infect a werewolf
and turn it into vampire, and vice versa, the population of these two monstrous species is
modelled by the following system:

the axes).
