1. The field mouse population in a certain area is known to naturally increase at a rate of 50% per month. Each month, owls in the area kill and eat 450 field mice. Let P, be the field mouse population after the nth month. a) Suppose that the initial field mouse population is Po = 800 mice. Write the first 5 terms of the sequence {Pn}. b) Is the sequence {Pn} increasing or decreasing? Do you think the field mouse population will survive or go extinct? c) Find a recurrence relation that generates the sequence {Pn}.

Follow these steps to evaluate a finite sequence defined by an explicit formula. Using a Tl-84, do the following. • In the home screen, press [2ND] LIST. • Scroll over to OPS and choose ‘seq(” from the dropdown list. Press [ENTER] • In the line headed “Expr:” type in the explicit formula, using the [X,T,,n] button for n • In the line headed ‘Variable” type In the variable used on the previous step. • In the line headed ‘start:” key in the value of n that begins the sequence. • In the line headed “end:’ key in the value of n that ends the sequence. • Press [ENTER] 3 times to return to the home screen. You will see the sequence syntax on the screen. Press [ENTER] to see the list of terms for the finite sequence defined. Use the right arrow key to scroll through the list of terms. Using a TI-83, do the following. • In the home screen, press [2ND] LIST. • Scroll over to OPS and choose “seq(“ from the dropdown list.
