Question 1129686
<br>
Use parentheses where required!<br>
The population formula as you show it is<br>
P(t) = {{{2200/ 1 + 9e^-0.8t}}}<br>
The correct formula is<br>
P(t) = {{{2200/ (1 + 9e^(-0.8t))}}}<br>
Now for your question....<br>
The initial population is when t=0.<br>
What is the value of {{{e^(-0.8t)}}} when t=0?<br>
What is the value of {{{9e^(-0.8t)}}} when t=0?<br>
What is the value of {{{1+9e^(-0.8t)}}} when t=0?<br>
What is the value of {{{2200/(1+9e^(-0.8t))}}} when t=0?<br>
That's the initial population.
