Circle whether each of the graphs below has an Euler circuit, an Euler path, or neither. Using the Brute Force Algorithm, find the shortest route if the weights represent distances in miles. If a graph is connected and __________________, the graph will have an Euler circuit. Starting at vertex A, use the Nearest-Neighbor Algorithm to find the shortest route if the weights represent distances in miles.

If the number of speech therapists is increased by 15 to accommodate the new district, use Hamilton’s method to apportion the 65 speech therapists. As a reward for their effort, their boss wishes to split 50 gift cards of equal value among the employees based on the amount of time spend on the project.

Given the logistic growth model $P(t) = \dfrac{M}{1+ke^{-ct}}$ , the carrying capacity of the population is $M$ . $M$ , the carrying capacity, is the maximum population possible within a certain habitat.
