I'm assuming the equation looks like this N(t)= 450/(1+49e^-0.7t) if this were the case then we can solve it two ways
- the first is by graphing it and looking at where the graph will level out.
- Is by solving by assuming infinity time as gone by. We would have
- N(infinity)=450/(1+49e^-infinity) (anything to the -infinity power = 0)
- N(infinity)=450/(1+49*0)
- N(infinity)=450/1
- 450

The definition of N(t) is ambiguous. Use grouping symbols to clarify it.08/04/22
