Growth of a Rabbit Colony:
A colony of rabbits begins with one pair of mature rabbits, which will produce a pair of offspring (one male, one female) each month. Assume that all rabbits mature in 1 month and produce a pair of offspring (one male, one female) after 2 months. If no rabbits ever die, how many pairs of mature rabbits are there after 7 months?
[Hint: The Fibonacci sequence models this colony. Do you see why?]
True or False. A function is a relation between two sets D
and R so that each element x in the first set D is related to exactly one element y in the second set R.
