Assume 100 snails originally have the virus and that in early stages the number of snails infected is increasing approximately exponentially, with a continuous growth rate of 0.02. Assume further that in the long run, they estimate approximately 5300 snails will be infected. The number of snails infected after t hours after infection began is modeled by a logistic function: P=L1+Ce−kt What is the value of t when the rate at which snails are becoming infected peaks? Select the closest value.
