In Problems 17–28, write down the first five terms of each sequence.
Growth of a Rabbit Colony:
A colony of rabbits begins with one pair of mature rabbits, which will produce a pair of offspring (one male, one female) each month. Assume that all rabbits mature in 1 month and produce a pair of offspring (one male, one female) after 2 months. If no rabbits ever die, how many pairs of mature rabbits are there after 7 months?
[Hint: The Fibonacci sequence models this colony. Do you see why?]
In a(n) ______sequence the ratio of successive terms is a constant.
In Problems 71-82, find the sum of each sequence.
In Problems 51–66, determine whether each infinite geometric series converges or diverges. If it converges, find its sum.
