Suppose that each year, 80% of residents living in state A stay in state A, while 20% of them move to state B. Also, 70% of the residents living in state B stay in state B, while 30% of them move to state A. Further, assume at t = 0 years, there are 2 million residents living in state A and 5 million residents living in state B, and let x, and yn represent the populations (in millions) of the states A and B, respectively, at time t = n years. Given that 2 (:) a Yn d 5 find the value of the number b.
