I want to find a formula to find the lower limit part of this recursive or geometric series $$ x_{n} = \left( x_{n-1} + p \right) \times \left( 1 - \frac{t}{100} \right) $$ I was just wondering what method I should use to find the lower limit of this equation with a given value of $p$ and $t$ as the value $x_1$ doesn't seem to effect the end state of the formula
When calculating by hand I found that, for example, when using $$ x_{1}=100\ \ \ \ p=10\ \ \ \ t=20 $$ I find it hits a lower limit of 40
here is what I found when doing some simple tests as what they collapsed to
p | t | rough collapsed value |
---|---|---|
10 | 20 | 40 |
11 | 20 | 44 |
12 | 20 | 48 |
10 | 30 | 90 |
10 | 10 | ~23.33333 |
11 | 10 | 99 |
So far I haven't been able to find a formula or equation that charts this out, can anyone help?
