The following logistic function models an animal population, measured in thousands, t years after January 1, 2000. P(t) = 23.7 1+ 4.8e-0.2t Compute P(8). (Round your answer to two decimal places.) x thousand animals per year Interpret your answer. (Round your answer to the nearest ten.) On January 1, 2008 the animal population was increasing at a rate of about animals per year.
