Online ProgramAn environmentalist is monitoring the mosquito population in an environment which currently contains 200 million mosquitos. The number of mosquitos, in millions, that the environmentalist expects each month, \(x_{next}\), can be estimated from the number of mosquitos, in millions, the previous month, \(x_{previous}\), by the following equation.
\(x_{next}=x_{previous}+0.3x_{previous} ({1-x_{previous}\over E})\)
The constant E in the formula is the number of mosquitos, in millions, that can be supported by the environment.
* If the environment can support 700 million mosquitos, what will be the number of mosquitos, in millions, three months from now? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
