Question

the forever green nursery owns 700 white pine trees. each year the nursery plans to sell 12% of its trees and plant 60 new ones. Bowen thinks that the trees will never run out but Gerri thinks thy will

who is right. explain the answer

write a recursive formula to find the answer and define the variables u use

Answer 1

wow........

Answer 2

12% is over 70 trees so by planting only 60 to replace your losing 10 trees each year so yes you will eventually run out.

Answer 3

700X.12= 84 trees each year

                 -60= 24 trees lost each year=

700/24= 29.1666 years to run out.

Answer 4

They won't run out.  

The nursery will sell fewer trees each year until they have a total of 500 trees.  At that point, they will sell 60 trees (12% of 500) and plan 60 new ones.

Answer 5

I)

Bowen is correct.  Once you sale down to 500 trees, you stop losing a net amount of trees by planting 60 new ones (ie 500*0.12 = 60)

II)

x0 = 700 where x0=initial amount of trees

........∞

xn = ∑ 0.88*x(n-1) + 60

......n=1

x(n-1) = previous amount of trees

xn = current amount of trees after the sale
