Chapter 8.5, Problem 118E

(a)

To determine

To calculate: Florida’s population in 1970 where the function $f\left(t\right)=\frac{25.1}{1+2.7e^{-0.05t}}$ models the population of Florida,$f\left(t\right)$, in millions, t years after 1970 .

(b)

To determine

To calculate: The Florida’s population to the nearest tenth of a million in 2010 and also determine whether this population is underestimate or overestimate the actual population in 2010 of $18.8$ million.

(c)

To determine

To calculate: The limiting size of the population of Florida when $f\left(t\right)=\frac{25.1}{1+2.7e^{-0.05t}}$ models the population of Florida.
