Question 1129686: Could someone help explain how to correctly solve the equation.
The population P of a fish farm in t years is modeled by the equation
P(t) = 2200/ 1 + 9e^−0.8t
What is the initial population of fish?

Use parentheses where required!

The population formula as you show it is

P(t) =

The correct formula is

P(t) =

Now for your question....

The initial population is when t=0.

What is the value of when t=0?

What is the value of when t=0?

What is the value of when t=0?

What is the value of when t=0?

That's the initial population.
