I have a logistic growth equation for a population where K = 820 carrying capacity, and P(0) =550 initial population with a growth rate r of 0.25. Using the equation P= K/(1+A.e^-rt) i can find out the Value of A from initial conditions as A=(K-P(0))/P(0) and apply the equation to calculate values of P at different time intervals between 0 ans 12 years. If I have to use the same parameters as a logistic decay starting with an initial population of 820 and a final population of 550, what would be the value of A. If I apply initial conditions then the value of A comes as negative and if we use -r as negative growth rate in the exponent of the denominator, there result does not follow a logistic decay. However if we keep A positive and r negative then we get a logistic decay. Can you please clarify this confusion.

Consider a population of antelope, with P0=2,750, carrying capacity K=3,875, and growth rate r=0.073 (or 7.3%) per year. Assuming that this population follows logistic growth, find P(t), then use the solution to predict the population after 8 years. Round your final answer to the nearest integer value and do not include units.
