Answer:

The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>

A) The population density decreases each year.

B) The population density increases each year.

C) The population density remains constant.

D) The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

we have

a_n=2.9(a_n_-_1)-0.2(a_n_-_1)^2

a_1=8

Find the value of a_2

For n=2

a_2=2.9(a_1)-0.2(a_1)^2

a_2=2.9(8)-0.2(8)^2=10.4

Find the value of a_3

For n=3

a_3=2.9(a_2)-0.2(a_2)^2

a_3=2.9(10.4)-0.2(10.4)^2=8.528

For n=4

a_4=2.9(a_3)-0.2(a_3)^2

a_4=2.9(8.528)-0.2(8.528)^2=10.1858

For n=5

a_5=2.9(a_4)-0.2(a_4)^2

a_5=2.9(10.1858)-0.2(10.1858)^2=8.7887

therefore

The population alternates between increasing and decreasing

How would you write this equation in terms of sin and cos as well as simplify it from there?
ziro4ka [17]
Try this option:
(1+ \frac{cosx}{sinx})(1- \frac{cosx}{sinx})- \frac{1}{sin^2x}= \frac{sin^2x-cos^2x}{sin^2x}- \frac{1}{sin^2x}=
= \frac{sin^2x-cos^2x-sin^2x-cos^2x}{sin^2x}=- \frac{2cos^2x}{sin^2x}.
