Suppose a population of elk in a certain ecosystem is following a logistic growth model, where the rate constant r = 0.82 and the carrying capacity is 24 thousand elk. (the relevant time step is one year). If the population this year is 14 thousand what is the predicted population next year? Round your final answer to the nearest 100.
