Fitting Exponential Models to Data · Exercise 54

Refer to the table.

$$\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}\text{x}& \text{1}& \text{2}& \text{3}& \text{4}& \text{5}& \text{6}& \text{7}& \text{8}& \text{9}& \text{10}\\ \text{f(x)}& \text{8.7}& \text{12.3}& \text{15.4}& \text{18.5}& \text{20.7}& \text{22.5}& \text{23.3}& \text{24}& \text{24.6}& \text{24.8}\end{array}$$

To the nearest whole number, what is the predicted carrying capacity of the model?
