6.8 Exercise 38

Avg difficulty 2.5

Use this scenario: The population P P of an endangered species habitat for wolves is modeled by the function P(x)= 558 1+54.8 e −0.462x , P \left(x\right) = \frac{558}{1 + 54.8 e^{- 0.462 x}} , where x x is given in years.

Use the intersect feature to approximate the number of years it will take before the population of the habitat reaches half its carrying capacity.
