Question 1129925: Could someone please explain and demonstrate the method that should be used to solve the equation. Thanks.
The population P of a fish farm in t years is modeled by the equation
P(t) = 1700/ 1 + (9^ e−0.7t)
To the nearest tenth, how long will it take for the population to reach 900?
