When a breeding group of animals is introduced into a restricted area such as a wildlife reserve, the population can be expected to grow rapidly at first but to level out when the population grows to near the maximum that the environment can support. Such growth is known as logistic population growth, and ecologists sometimes use a formula to describe it. The number N of deer present at time t (measured in years since the herd was introduced) on a certain wildlife reserve has been determined by ecologists to be given by the function below. (Round your answers down to the nearest whole number.) 12.33 N = 0.03 + 0.56 (a) How many deer were initially on the reserve? 12 deer (b) Calculate N(12). N(12) = 411 deer Explain the meaning of the number you have calculated, O After 12 years there should be about 11 deer in the reserve. O After 12 years there should be about 386 deer in the reserve. O After 12 years there should be about 398 deer in the reserve. O After 12 years there should be about 410 deer in the reserve. (c) Express the number of deer present after 17 years using functional notation. M 17
