Question 212137: The population of a certain species of bird is limited by the type of habitat required for nesting. The population behaves according to the logistic growth model. Where T is measured in years. Find the intial bird population?
n(t) = 6750/0.5 + 26e^-0.044t

Where T is measured in years. Find the initial bird population?
n(t) = 6750%2F%280.5+%2B+26e%5E%28-0.044t%29%29
Initially t = 0, therefore
n(t) = 6750%2F%280.5+%2B+26e%5E0%29
which is
n(t) = 6750%2F%280.5+%2B+26%29
n(t) = 6750%2F%2826.5%29
n(t) ~ 255 birds
