Problem 3

In a newly established wildlife reserve, 100100 rabbits are introduced into an area with an estimated carrying capacity of 10,00010,000 rabbits. A logistic model of the rabbit population is given by R(t)=1,000,000100+9900e0.3tR(t) = \frac{1,000,000}{100 + 9900 e^{-0.3t}}, where tt is measured in years. Determine the time when the population reaches 6,0006,000 rabbits. Also, find the time when the population reaches 90%90\% of the carrying capacity. Round the final answer to the nearest integer.
