Ответ:
A) Parrots are following a Geometric Progression of 15% increase.
20(1.15), 20(1.15)², 20(1.15)³,
Function = 20(1.15)^n Where n is at the end of year, n =1, 2, 3, ..
Snakes are increasing by 4.
28, 32, 36,
Function = 24 + 4n n = number of end year, n =1, 2, 3,...
B) After 10 years:
Parrot = 20(1.15)¹⁰ = 80.91115471
Snakes = 24 + 4(10) = 64
C) After what time they are the same:
We use trial and error:
Test: n 20(1.15^n) (24 + 4n)
1 23 28
2 26.45 32
3 30.41 36
4 34.98 40
5 40.23 44
6 46.26 48
7 53.20 52
8 61.18 56
9 70.36 60
After year 7, the Parrots increases far more.
At year 7 they are roughly the same.
