Researchers have developed a mathematical model that can be used to estimate the number of teeth N(t) at time t (days of incubation) for Alligator mississippiensis, where

(a) Find N(65), the number of teeth of an alligator that hatched after 65 days.

(b) Find

and use this value as an estimate of the number of teeth of a newborn alligator. Does this estimate differ significantly from the estimate of part (a)?
