Find the Logistic Function F with the Given Properties $f ( 0 ) = 20$

question 13

Multiple Choice

Find the logistic function f with the given properties. $f ( 0 ) = 20$ , f has limiting value 500, and for small values of x, f is approximately exponential and doubles with every increase of 1 in x.

• A) \(f ( x ) = \frac { 500 } { 1 + 24 \left( 2 ^ { - x } \right) }\)
• B) \(f ( x ) = \frac { 500 } { 1 + 24 \left( 1.5 ^ { - x } \right) }\)
• C) \(f ( x ) = \frac { 500 } { 1 + 1.5 ^ { - x } }\)
• D) \(f ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 1 + 24 \left( 2 ^ { - x } \right) }\)
• E) \(f ( x ) = \frac { 500 } { 1 + 2 ^ { - x } }\)
