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 51–66, determine whether each infinite geometric series converges or diverges. If it converges, find its sum.
In Problems 51–60, write out each sum.
In Problems 37–50, a sequence is defined recursively. Write down the first five terms.
In Problems 61–70, express each sum using summation notation.
