Answer:

a(n) = 3*(2)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Each new term is found by multiplying the previous term by 2. The first term is 3. Using the standard explicit formula for a geometric series, we get:

a(n) = a(1)*r^(n-1). In this particular case we have a(n) = 3*(2)^(n-1).

The projected rate of increase in enrollment at a new branch of the UT-system is estimated by E ′ (t) = 12000(t + 9)−3/2 where E

Answer:

The projected enrollment is $\lim_{t \to \infty} E(t)=10,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided projected rate.

$E'(t) = 12000(t + 9)^{\frac{-3}{2}}$

Integrate the above function.

$E(t) =\int 12000(t + 9)^{\frac{-3}{2}}dt$

$E(t) =-\frac{24000}{\left(t+9\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}+c$

The initial enrollment is 2000, that means at t=0 the value of E(t)=2000.

$2000=-\frac{24000}{\left(0+9\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}+c$

$2000=-\frac{24000}{3}+c$

$2000=-8000+c$

$c=10,000$

Therefore, $E(t) =-\frac{24000}{\left(t+9\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}+10,000$

Now we need to find $\lim_{t \to \infty} E(t)$

$\lim_{t \to \infty} E(t)=-\frac{24000}{\left(t+9\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}+10,000$

$\lim_{t \to \infty} E(t)=10,000$

Hence, the projected enrollment is $\lim_{t \to \infty} E(t)=10,000$
