Biologists notice an alarming trend in the walleye population in Lake Erie. Despite efforts, the population is decreasing by 15% each year. They estimate the walleye population was 26 million at the beginning of the current year. Write a sequence that lists the population for the first 4 years using 26 million as the first term. Walleye populations are considered to be in a rehabilitation state when they are between 15 and 20 million. In what year will the population reach this level? In addition to a harvest restriction, what intervention could be used?

Using the formula the sum of the population for the first 10 years? Remember it is decreasing by 15% each year!!
