Question
Assume that the population size of honey bees in billions at year t is hy, and the population size of wild bees in billions at year t is uy. They follow the following recursive relationship:
he+1 = 2he - 4, 87+1 = 0.5uy + 1|
Currently, there are 5 billion honey bees (ho = 5) and 10 billion wild bees (wo = 10).
- Find an explicit formula for the population of honey bees.
- Find an explicit formula for the population of wild bees.
- What will be the population of wild bees in a long run (as t → ∞).
- If each honey bee can pollinate 1000 plants annually and wild bees pollinate 2000 plants
each year, how many plants will be pollinated in billions in the current year (f = 0), and after 2
years (t = 2)? Compare the results and assess whether the pollination rate is likely to decrease in
the near future or not.
