Fitting Exponential Models to Data · Exercise 25

Use this scenario: The population $P$ of a koi pond over $x$ months is modeled by the function $P (x) = \frac{68}{1 + 16 e ^{- 0.28 x}} .$

Use the intersect feature to approximate the number of months it will take before the population of the pond reaches half its carrying capacity.

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
