Using Logistic Growth Models The population of a fish farm in t years is modeled by the equation P(t) = 1300 / (1 + 4e^(-0.65t)). Answer the following. a. What is the initial population of fish? The initial population of fish was 260 . b. To the nearest whole number, what will the fish population be after 3 years? The fish population will be approximately after 3 years. c. To the nearest tenth, how long will it take for the population to reach 1025? It will take approximately years for the population to reach 1025. d. What is the carrying capacity for the fish population? The carrying capacity is fish.

The logistic function p(t) = 1000 + 9e^(-0.6t) models the population of a fish farm in t years. Determine the following: 1. The initial population of fish. 2. The doubling time for the population, to the nearest tenth. 3. The population of fish in two years, to the nearest integer. 4. The time it will take to reach 900 fish, to the nearest tenth. 5. The maximum capacity for the fish farm. Hint: You may want to use a graph to justify this.

Biologists stocked a lake with 400 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species in that lake) to be $10,000 .$ The number of fish tripled in the first year. (a) Assuming that the size of the fish population satisfies the logistic equation, find an expression for the size of the population after $t$ years. (b) How long will it take for the population to increase to 5000$?$
