Well you'd see if it's closer to 10000 or 20000.

In this case it would round to 20000.

Solve the following recurrence relation: <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A_%7Bn%7D%3Da_%7Bn-1%7D%2Bn%3B%20a_%7B1%7D%20%3D

By iteratively substituting, we have

$a_n = a_{n-1} + n$

$a_{n-1} = a_{n-2} + (n - 1) \implies a_n = a_{n-2} + n + (n - 1)$

$a_{n-2} = a_{n-3} + (n - 2) \implies a_n = a_{n-3} + n + (n - 1) + (n - 2)$

and the pattern continues down to the first term $a_1=0$ ,

$a_n = a_{n - (n - 1)} + n + (n - 1) + (n - 2) + \cdots + (n - (n - 2))$

$\implies a_n = a_1 + \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} (n - k)$

$\implies a_n = \displaystyle n \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} 1 - \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} k$

Recall the formulas

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^N 1 = N$

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^N n = \frac{N(N+1)}2$

It follows that

$a_n = n (n - 2) - \dfrac{(n-2)(n-1)}2$

$\implies a_n = \dfrac12 n^2 + \dfrac12 n - 1$

$\implies \boxed{a_n = \dfrac{(n+2)(n-1)}2}$

If N is the population of the colony and t is the time in days, express N as a function of t. Consider Upper N 0 is the origina

lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) $N(t)=Noe^{kt}$

(b)5,832 Mosquitoes

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Given an original amount $N_o$ at t=0. The population of the colony with a growth rate $k \neq 0$ , where k is a constant is given as:

$N(t)=Noe^{kt}$

(b)If $N_o=1000$ and the population after 1 day, N(1)=1800

Then, from our model:

N(1)=1800

$1800=1000e^{k}\\$Divide both sides by 1000\\e^{k}=1.8\\$Take the natural logarithm of both sides\\k=ln(1.8)$

Therefore, our model is:

$N(t)=1000e^{t*ln(1.8)}\\N(t)=1000\cdot1.8^t$

In 3 days time

$N(3)=1000\cdot1.8^3=5832$

The population of mosquitoes in 3 days time will be approximately 5832.

(c)If the population N(t)=20,000,we want to determine how many days it takes to attain that value.

From our model

$N(t)=1000\cdot1.8^t\\20000=1000\cdot1.8^t\\$Divide both sides by 1000\\20=1.8^t\\$Convert to logarithm form\\Log_{1.8}20=t\\\frac{Log 20}{Log 1.8}=t\\ t=5.097\approx 5\; days$

In approximately 5 days, the population of mosquitoes will be 20,000.
