Question

The number of goats in a farm increases by 5 goats each year. If the farm has a population of 20 goats after the first year, and n denotes the number of years, which recursive equation gives the population of goats, , as a function of the year?

Answer 1

f (1) = 20; f (n) = 2 · f (n - 1) - 0.3 · f (n - 1) + 5, for n ≥ 2

Explanation:

The other person left some numbers out.

Answer 2

f ( 1 )= 20; f ( n )= f (n - 1) + 5, for n > 2
