Given :
The population of fish in a pond from 2001 to 2014 is modeled by the function below where t is the years since 2001.
[tex]p(t) = \dfrac{1125}{1+12e^{-0.17t}}[/tex] ...1)
To Find :
Find the number of fish is the pond in 2014.
Solution :
Number of years, t = 2014 - 2001 = 13.
Putting value of t in equation 1), we get :
[tex]p(t) = \dfrac{1125}{1+12e^{-0.17\times 13}}\\\\p(t) = 485.67[/tex]
p(t) ≈ 486
Therefore, number of fish in the pond in 2014 is 486.
Hence, this is the required solution.
