You Have Generated A Sequence Of Areas. What Are The First 3 Terms Of The Sequence?
You have generated a sequence of areas. What are the first 3 terms of the sequence? Answer: The first 3 terms of the sequence: 32, 16, 8 (square units) Step-by-step explanation: The paper has an original area of 64 square units. After the first fold of the paper, the area was halved. This results to the first term of sequence which has an area of 32 square units. Repeating the process of folding the paper, the area will be again halved resulting to 16 square units, the second term of the sequence. Continuing the process of folding, the area will again be halved and will result to 8 square units as the third sequence . The sequence of areas generated is considered a geometric sequence. Wherein each term after the first is obtained by multiplying the preceding term by a nonzero constant. The common ratio is 1/2. Showing the computation of the above sequence: 64 x (1/2) = 32 (first term) 32 x (1/2) = 16 (second term) 16 x (1/2) = 8 (third term) Code: 10.3.1.1.2. For addition...
