Consider an idealized population with the characteristic that each member of the population produces one offspring at the end of every time period. Each member has a life span of three time periods and the population begins with 10 newborn members. The following table shows the population during the first five time periods.

Age Bracket 0-1 1-2 2-3 Total Time Period 1 2 3 4

The sequence for the total population has the property that

5 10 10 20 40 70 10 10 20 40 10 10

Find the total population during each of the next five time periods.

Age Bracket 0-1 1-2 2-3 Total Time Period 1 2 3 4 5 10 10 20 40 70 10 10 20 40 10 10 20 10 20 40 70 13 130
