You study a population of mussels recently introduced to a section of the Rideau River 9 years ago. You know that 20 mussels were originally let go in the river by a resident. These mussels have no predators. You know from your research that, under ideal conditions, the instantaneous rate of increase of this mussel species is 0.17. You also think the conditions on the river were ideal when the mussels were introduced. After surveying the food available in the river, you estimated that there is enough food to support a population of 12,700 mussels. How many mussels do expect to be in the river now?
