Chapter 8.1, Problem 78E

Practical sequences Consider the following situations that generate a sequence.

  1. a. Write out the first five terms of the sequence.
  2. b. Find an explicit formula for the terms of the sequence.
  3. c. Find a recurrence relation that generates the sequence.
  4. d. Using a calculator or a graphing utility, estimate the limit of the sequence or state that it does not exist.

78. Population growth When a biologist begins a study, a colony of prairie dogs has a population of 250. Regular measurements reveal that each month the prairie dog population increases by 3%. Let pn be the population (rounded to whole numbers) at the end of the nth month, where the initial population is p0 = 250.
