Expand your window so that you can see the population (probably the y axis) untill you can see 1000. Some cushion would be helpful so make the window a little bigger.
Plug 1000 into the y= also and find where the line intersects your function.
(If you didn't know, the e is above the divide symbol on the calculator.)
I hope this helps.
