Answer to Problem 11.7MPS
an=0.8an−11000
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
In a city fishing pond, the city starts with 4000 trout. 20% of the fish are caught each year, so the city adds 1000 fish every spring.
Calculation:
Assume that an is the number of fish in the pond after n−1th month.
Initially, number of fish in the pond is a1=4000 .
Each year 1000 fish are added and 20% of the fish are caught.
Thus,
a2=a1−0.2a1+1000a2=0.8a1+1000
Then,
a3=0.8a2+1000
Hence, the recursive formula is an=0.8an−11000 .
b.
Find the number of fish in the pond after 5 years.

Answer to Problem 11.7MPS
4672
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
In a city fishing pond, the city starts with 4000 trout. 20% of the fish are caught each year, so the city adds 1000 fish every spring.
Calculation:
The recursive formula for the number of fish after (n−1) th month is,
an=0.8an−11000
Substitute n=6 ,
an=0.8an−11000a6=0.8a5+1000
Find the value of a5 as follows:
a2=0.8a1+1000a2=0.8×4000+1000a2=4200a3=0.8a2+1000a3=0.8×4200+1000a3=4360a4=0.8a3+1000a4=0.8×4360+1000a4=4488a5=0.8a4+1000a5=0.8×4488+1000a5=4590.4a5≈4590
Now, substitute a5=4590 in formula a6=0.8a5+1000 .
a6=0.8a5+1000a6=0.8×4590+1000a6=4672
Hence, the number of fish in the pond after 5 years is 4672 .

Answer to Problem 11.7MPS
5000
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
In a city fishing pond, the city starts with 4000 trout. 20% of the fish are caught each year, so the city adds 1000 fish every spring.
Calculation:
The recursive formula is an=0.8an−1+1000 .
For constant population, an&an−1 will remain same.
an=0.8an−1+1000a=0.8a+1000,Usean=a,and,an−1=aa−0.8a=10000.2a=1000a=10000.2a=5000
Hence, the number of fish needed to maintain a constant population is 5000 .
