Destiny is doing a science fair project about ant population growth. She has a very young ant colony, and to estimate the population, she captures 25 ants and marks them with special paint. Destiny then releases them into the colony, waits a few days, and then captures 240 ants. She notices that 10 of these ants are marked. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the ant population?

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3
