I'm going to assume you meant to write fractions (because if are all non-negative integers, the series would clearly diverge), so that
and so on.
a. If the pattern continues as above, we would have the general term
b. Note that we can write as
The series diverges by comparison to the divergent series
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential growth function is
Where 'a' is the initial population
r is the rate of growth and x is the time period in years
a steady population of 32,000. So initial population is 32,000
an increase of 8% per year. the rate of increase is 8% that is 0.08
a= 32000 and r= 0.08
Plug in all the values in the general equation
