Vivica has a colony of bees that produce 15 pounds of honey in the first year. As the colony grows, it produces 9% more honey each year. How much honey will the colony produce during the seventh year?
-
A(n) = amount of honey the nth year = 15(1.09)^(n-1)
A(15) = 15(1.09)^(7-1) = 15(1.09)^6 ≈ 25.2 pounds
A(15) = 15(1.09)^(7-1) = 15(1.09)^6 ≈ 25.2 pounds
