Biologists stocked a lake with 500 fish and estimated the carrying capacity to be 7200. The number of fish grew to 1050 in the first year. Find the logistic equation for the fish population, P(t), after t years. Be as exact as possible. How long will it take for the population to increase to 3600 (half of the carrying capacity)? years.
