Sequences and Series.

one way -> mode - seq.

BIG IDEA.
*solve problems using technology ( at least 4 methods),
to predict population, exponential, fractal geometry trends.

ex.

The moose population near hudson bay seems to be increasing. The mortality rate is 12% per year, but generally, 30 new calves are born every year. If the herd size is known to be 800 animals in 2008, answer the following:

a) SHOW POPULATION numbers for the next 5 years, starting with 2008 As year 0.

STRATEGY NUMBER ONE.
"home - screen calculator"
200 moose - (.12%*200)= whatever, + 30 moose.

STRATEGY NUMBER TWO.
"sequence mode"
u, v and w all are different sequences.

STRATEGY NUMBER THREE
excel

STRATEGY NUMBER FOUR
SHODO

fair game
n=200
x 0.88
+30
steps (my choose)


b) HUNTERS want to hunt moose.
Design a plan to hunt moose and maintain the population at between 200 - 225 moose....
* you may bring more moose from outlying areas every year.
