But first note that when t<\/em> = 0, [latex]{P}_{0}=\\frac{c}{1+a{e}^{-b\\left(0\\right)}}=\\frac{c}{1+a}[\/latex]. Therefore,\r\n\r\n58.\u00a0Use a graphing utility to find an exponential regression formula [latex]f\\left(x\\right)[\/latex] and a logarithmic regression formula [latex]g\\left(x\\right)[\/latex] for the points [latex]\\left(1.5,1.5\\right)[\/latex] and [latex]\\left(8.5,\\text{ 8}\\text{.5}\\right)[\/latex].

Make a conjecture about the relationship of the regression formulas.\r\n\r\n59. Verify the conjecture made in the previous exercise. Round all numbers to six decimal places when necessary.\r\n\r\n60. Find the inverse function [latex]{f}^{-1}\\left(x\\right)[\/latex] for the logistic function [latex]f\\left(x\\right)=\\frac{c}{1+a{e}^{-bx}}[\/latex]. Show all steps.\r\n\r\n61. Use the result from the previous exercise to graph the logistic model [latex]P\\left(t\\right)=\\frac{20}{1+4{e}^{-0.5t}}[\/latex] along with its inverse on the same axis.

50. Use a graphing calculator to create a scatter diagram of the data.<\/p>\n

51. Use the LOGISTIC regression option to find a logistic growth model of the form [latex]y=\\frac{c}{1+a{e}^{-bx}}[\/latex] that best fits the data in the table.<\/p>\n

52.\u00a0Graph the logistic equation on the scatter diagram.<\/p>\n

53. To the nearest whole number, what is the predicted carrying capacity of the model?<\/p>\n

54.\u00a0Use the intersect feature to find the value of x<\/em>\u00a0for which the model reaches half its carrying capacity.<\/p>\n

55. Recall that the general form of a logistic equation for a population is given by [latex]P\\left(t\\right)=\\frac{c}{1+a{e}^{-bt}}[\/latex], such that the initial population at time t<\/em> = 0 is [latex]P\\left(0\\right)={P}_{0}[\/latex]. Show algebraically that [latex]\\frac{c-P\\left(t\\right)}{P\\left(t\\right)}=\\frac{c-{P}_{0}}{{P}_{0}}{e}^{-bt}[\/latex].<\/p>\n

56.\u00a0[latex]\\frac{c-P\\left(t\\right)}{P\\left(t\\right)}=\\frac{c-\\frac{c}{1+a{e}^{-bt}}}{\\frac{c}{1+a{e}^{-bt}}}=\\frac{\\frac{c\\left(1+a{e}^{-bt}\\right)-c}{1+a{e}^{-bt}}}{\\frac{c}{1+a{e}^{-bt}}}=\\frac{\\frac{c\\left(1+a{e}^{-bt}-1\\right)}{1+a{e}^{-bt}}}{\\frac{c}{1+a{e}^{-bt}}}=1+a{e}^{-bt}-1=a{e}^{-bt}[\/latex]<\/p>\n

57. Working with the right side of the equation we show that it can also be rewritten as [latex]a{e}^{-bt}[\/latex]. But first note that when t<\/em> = 0, [latex]{P}_{0}=\\frac{c}{1+a{e}^{-b\\left(0\\right)}}=\\frac{c}{1+a}[\/latex]. Therefore,<\/p>\n

58.\u00a0Use a graphing utility to find an exponential regression formula [latex]f\\left(x\\right)[\/latex] and a logarithmic regression formula [latex]g\\left(x\\right)[\/latex] for the points [latex]\\left(1.5,1.5\\right)[\/latex] and [latex]\\left(8.5,\\text{ 8}\\text{.5}\\right)[\/latex]. Round all numbers to 6 decimal places. Graph the points and both formulas along with the line y\u00a0<\/em>= x<\/em>\u00a0on the same axis. Make a conjecture about the relationship of the regression formulas.<\/p>\n

59. Verify the conjecture made in the previous exercise. Round all numbers to six decimal places when necessary.<\/p>\n

60. Find the inverse function [latex]{f}^{-1}\\left(x\\right)[\/latex] for the logistic function [latex]f\\left(x\\right)=\\frac{c}{1+a{e}^{-bx}}[\/latex]. Show all steps.<\/p>\n

61. Use the result from the previous exercise to graph the logistic model [latex]P\\left(t\\right)=\\frac{20}{1+4{e}^{-0.5t}}[\/latex] along with its inverse on the same axis. What are the intercepts and asymptotes of each function?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
