9) Fish population<br />

The function:<br />

P (t) = 12<br />

1+e −t<br />

gives the size of a fish population in thousands at time t, measured in years.<br />

a) Find the initial population of fish at time t =0.<br />

Find the population of fish after 2 years, time t =2.<br />

b) How long will it take for the population to be 10,000?<br />

What appears to be the maximum population for this particular model?<br />
