The logistic growth function f(t) = 34,000 /(1 + 1132.3e-1.1t) models the number of people who have become ill with a partiafter its initial outbreak in a particular community. What is the limiting size of the population that becomes ill?

Solution

for this case we have the following function:


f(t)=(34000)/(1+1132.3e^(-1.1t))

And we want to find the limiting size of the population, since this is a logistic function the loading or the limiting size needs to be:

34000
