Outcomes

ACMGM075

use a general first-order linear recurrence relation to generate the terms of a sequence and to display it in both tabular and graphical form

ACMGM076

recognise that a sequence generated by a first-order linear recurrence relation can have a long term increasing, decreasing or steady-state solution

ACMGM077

use first-order linear recurrence relations to model and analyse (numerically or graphically only) practical problems; for example, investigating the growth of a trout population in a lake recorded at the end of each year and where limited recreational fishing is permitted, or the amount owing on a reducing balance loan after each payment is made
