Wolves are released into the wilds of Virginia. The initial number of wolves is 200. Wildlife biologist have predicted that the carrying capacity of Virginia is 3,000 wolves and that their population should grow according to the logistics growth function. After 6 years, it is estimated that there are 400 wolves. How many wolves will there be after 15 years?  This is an exponential growth problem- use P(t)=L/1+be-kt to solve.
