The population of bald eagles in Forest National Park is declining at a rate of 14% per year. The following expression represent
2 answers:
We know that the population is declining at a rate of 14% per year.
The expression is:
N ( x ) = 206 * ( 0.86 ) ^ x
where x stays for years.
If we want to find the rate at which the population is declining per month we have to find:
And 0.9875 ≈ 0.99
There are 12 months in a year so the exponent is: x/12
Answer:
b. ( .99 ) ^ x/12

Answer:
<em>Diverges; the limit of the terms, an, is not 0 as n goes to infinity</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Convergence of Infinite Series</u>
The series is given as the terms
1 , 9 , 1 , 18 , 27 , 1 , 36 , 1 , 45 ...
For a series to be convergent, the limit of the general term an when n goes to infinity must be 0. In such cases, the sum of all terms tends to a fixed value.
Our series has two clearly different sequences, which define it as a piecewise general term:
If n is odd, then
Otherwise, an is an arithmetic series starting from 9 with a common difference of 9, that is
if n is even.
If we take the limit as n goes to infinity, we don't know which one should be selected, thus we must assume that any of them is a correct option, therefore both of them should converge.
The limit of the function
is 1 when n goes to infinity. Since it's not 0, this piece is not convergent and the entire series isn't either.
But it goes worse because of the limit of the second piece
when n goes to infinity is infinite.
The answer is
<em>Diverges; the limit of the terms, an, is not 0 as n goes to infinity</em>
