1. The logistic function L P(t) = 1+e-(t-a) can be used to model populations which saturate over time. The parameter L determines the carrying capacity (the maximum population) and a determines the horizontal shift. (a) Suppose that P(t) models the population of wild deer on Mt. Lemmon t years after 1990. Find the values of the parameters L and a so that the population 10 years after 1990 is 100 deer and so that the population is increasing fastest at 5 years. (Assume t = 0) is the year 1990) (b) What is the carrying capacity for deer in the Mt. Lemmon forest? What was the initial population of deer (i.e. in 1990)?
