determine the derivatives for the following functions.

In the following task, let be

arbitrary but fixed.

In the episode "Do you know Tribbles?" of the television series "Starship Enterprise", the Enterprise
is entered by an animal called Tribble. This animal is a small furry animal that has 10 young within 12
hours1. This high reproduction rate quickly becomes a problem, since it is an unrestricted
exponential growth due to the large food stores of the ship. Let's look at this problem in more detail.

a) Let N the number of tribbles on the ship after T=12n hours. Develop a rule to recursively conclude
fromNntoNn+1.

b) Give a closed formula for the sequent.c) The formula you found can be evaluated not only by
integer breeding cycles, but also whenn=T/12is substituted. We want to determine the birth rate,
that is, the number of tribbles born at the moment. Determine the derivation

to obtain the birth rate in births per hour.

d) If there exists ac∈R such that

e) Mr. Spock calculates that after 3 days there will be1,771,561 tribbles2on the Enterprise. According
to our formula, after which time are there so many tribbles on the Enterprise? Has he miscalculated?

Note: The transformation may prove useful.
