Iterations and Recurrence Relations

Zebra mussels are fresh water mollusks that attack underwater structures. Suppose that the volume of mussels in a confined area grows at a rate of 0.2% per day

(1) If there are now 10 cubic feet of mussels in a lock on the Illinois River at Peoria, Illinois, develop a recurrence relation and initial conditions that represent the volume mn as a function of n.
(2) Develop a formula expressing mn as a function of n.
