Short Answer
The geometric series converges.
Its sum is:

A pond currently has 2000 trout in it. A fish hatchery decides to add an additional 20 trout each month. In addition, it is known that the trout population is growing 3% per month. The size of the population after n months is given by the recursively defined sequence.
(a) How many trout are in the pond at the end of the second month? That is, what is p2?
(b) Using a graphing utility, determine how long it will be
before the trout population reaches 5000.
In Problems 71-82, find the sum of each sequence.
In Problems 51–60, write out each sum.
In Problems 29–36, the given pattern continues. Write down the nth term of a sequence suggested by the pattern.
In Problems 37–50, a sequence is defined recursively. Write down the first five terms.
