Answer:

Initially, you have 2573 pieces.

You use 5 pieces each minute.

Right when you start, you have 2573 pieces.

One minute after that, you have 2573 - 5 pieces.

Another minute after, you have 2573 - 2*5 pieces.

Another minute after, you have 2573 - 3*5 pieces.

And so on.

You can see the pattern here, and with this, we can find the linear equation that represents the number of pieces that you have as a function of time.

Then, if the variable t represents the number of minutes that passed since you started, we can write the equation:

f(t) = 2573 - 5*t

That represents the number of pieces that you have after t minutes.

Fibonacci posed the following problem: Suppose that rabbits live forever and that every month each pair produces a new pair whic

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Let f_n be the number of rabbit pairs at the beginning of each month. We start with one pair, that is f_1 = 1. After one month the rabbits still do not produce a new pair, which means f_2 = 1. After two months a new born pair appears, that is f_3 = 2, and so on. Let now n $\geq$ 3 be any natural number. We have that f_n is equal to the previous amount of pairs f_n-1 plus the amount of new born pairs. The last amount is f_n-2, since any two month younger pair produced its first baby pair. Finally we have
