Chapter 18.2, Problem 60PS
To determine

To conclude:

Assuming that young pair of rabbits become adults after two months and produce an offspring. This process continues and a “Colony” of rabbits is produced at the end of n months. The growth rate sequence of the colony is defined and it is assumed that the rate is convergent. The recursion formula is used in the below equation,

an+1an=1+an-1an

and let L=limn→∞⁡rn

Finally, the conclusion has to be made to check whether L satisfies this equation L=1+1L.
