Either
(1) plug in values of x and narrow down the years as you get f(x) closer and closer to 8 (billion). 76 is the value.
1968+76 = 2044
(2) Solve for x using f(x) = 8. Same answer.

asked 11/08/23A logistic growth model for world population, f(x), in billions, x years after 1968 is
f(x)=(12.57)/(1+4.11e^−0.026x). According to this model, when will the world population be 8 billion?
