For a certain endangered species, the goal is to have 900

For a certain endangered species, the goal is to have 900 breeding adults in the wild by 2023. If progress toward this goal continues, the population of breeding adults in the wild in year x can be approximated by P(x) = 74 e 0.15x, where x = 12 corresponds to the year 2012. Use this model to find the following. (a) P(16) (b) P'(x) and P'(16) (c) Interpret the answers in parts (a) and (b). (a) P(16)= 816 (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) 0.15x (b) P'(x)= 11.1 e P'(16)= (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) *****
