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 Problems 17–28, write down the first five terms of each sequence.
In Problems 71-82, find the sum of each sequence.
In Problems 61–70, express each sum using summation notation.
Roth IRA On January 1, 1999, Bob decided to place \(500 at the end of each quarter into a Roth Individual Retirement Account.
(a) Find a recursive formula that represents Bob’s balance at the end of each quarter if the rate of return is assumed to be 8% per annum compounded quarterly.
(b) How long will it be before the value of the account exceeds \)100,000?
(c) What will be the value of the account in 25 years when Bob retires?
