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?
For a convergent series satisfying the conditions of the integral test, why is every remainder positive? How can be used along with the term from the sequence of partial sums to understand the quality of the approximation ?
Explain why the integral test may be used to analyze the given series and then use the test to determine whether the series converges or diverges.
In Exercises 48–51 find all values of p so that the series converges.
Determine whether the series converges or diverges. Give the sum of the convergent series.
