Animal populations are not capable of unrestricted growth because of limited habitat and food supplies. Under such conditions the
population follows a
logistic growth model
:
where
c
,
d
, and
k
are positive constants. For a certain sh population in a small pond
d
= 1400,
k
= 13,
c
= 0.2, and
t
is measured in years. The
sh were introduced into the pond at time
t
= 0.
(a) How many sh were originally put in the pond?
sh
(b) Find the population after 10, 20, and 30 years. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
