How many times a year does a dove lay eggs?

It's an all around the year thing with them being able to get new eggs in just 10 days after the previous batch. That's why it is common for pigeon breeders to use wooden eggs because then they don't make new ones but rather sit on those for a couple of weeks. It is common to separate males from females at least 3 months yearly because the doves can die from too many eggs.

a. geometricb. g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]; g[1] = 384c. g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)d. g[12] ≈ 16.2183 gallonse. g[12] ≈ 64.8732 quarts

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
