Question 617971
based on this equation, the limiting size appears to be 400, assuming the equation is:
f(t) = 400 / (1+9.0*e^(-.22t))
presumably t represents number of months.
i'll assume that.
the following table of values based on the assumed equation is shown below:
<pre>
x       y = 400 / (1+9*e^(-.22t))
0       40
1       49
2       59
12      244 *****
24      383
36      399
38      400
</pre>
after 38 months the rounded up number stabilize at 400 and go no higher.
this is the maximum size of the population based on the equation.
a graph of this equation looks like this:
{{{graph(600,600,-10,50,-20,500,400/(1+9*e^(-.22x)))}}}
