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

From the recursive rule
it follows that
and so on. Notice how the subscript on a on the right side and the coefficient multiplied by 13 add up to n (n - 2 + 2 = n; n - 3 + 3 = n; and so on). If we continue the pattern, we'll end up with
so that the explicit rule for the n-th term in the sequence is
