Express each of the repeating decimals in Exercises 71–78 as a geometric series and as the quotient of two integers reduced to lowest terms.
Leila, in her capacity as a population biologist in Idaho, is trying to figure out how many salmon a local hatchery should release annually in order to revitalize the fishery. She knows that ifsalmon spawn in Redfish Lake in a given year, then only fish will return to the lake from the offspring of that run, because of all the dams on the rivers between the sea and the lake. Thus, if she adds the spawn from h fish, from a hatchery, then the number of fish that return from that run k will be .
(a) Show that the sustained number of fish returning approaches as k→∞.
(b) Evaluate .
(c) How should Leila choose h, the number of hatchery fish to raise in order to hold the number of fish returning in each run at some constant P?
Leila finds that there are more factors affecting the number of salmon that return to Redfish Lake than the dams: There are good years and bad years. These happen at random, but they are more or less cyclical, so she models the number of fish returning each year as , where h is the number of fish whose spawn she releases from the hatchery annually.
(a) Show that the sustained number of fish returning in even-numbered years approach approximately
(Hint: Make a new recurrence by using two steps of the one given.)
(b) Show that the sustained number of fish returning in odd-numbered years approaches approximately
(c) How should Leila choose h, the number of hatchery fish to breed in order to hold the minimum number of fish returning in each run near some constant P?
