Calculate the area of the parallelogram spanned by the vectors $\vc{a} = (3, -3, 1)$ and $\vc{b} = (4,9,2)$. Solution: The area is $\| \vc{a} \times \vc{b}\|$. Using the above expression for the cross product, we find that the area is $\sqrt{15^2+2^2+39^2} = 5 \sqrt{70}$.
In this first exercise, you will study the moose on Isle Royale. before the arrival of wolves. The lab simulates the arrival of the. group of moose that swam to the island and rapidly reproduced. to form a large population.

The moose is the largest antlered animal in North America, and the largest member of the deer family in the world. A large male, or bull, may be as long as 10 feet, 7 feet tall at the shoulder, and weigh three-quarters of a ton. Current estimates place Maineâs moose population at about 25,000. 2  Moose breeding, the rut, is in late September and early October. 3  Bulls over the age of 4 are dominant breeders. 4  Cows may have their first offspring at 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 years of age.
