Answer

$N=10$, $A=4$, $b=0.3$ Technology formula:$\qquad 10/(1+4*0.3^{\wedge}(-x))$ .

Work Step by Step

Comparing to $\displaystyle \quad f(x)=\frac{N}{1+ab^{-x}}$ We get: $N=10$, $A=4$, $b=0.3$ So, the technology formula is: $10/(1+4*0.3^{\wedge}(-x))$ (We used the grapher at www.wanermath.com, as suggested by the book.)
