The Bouncing Ball Problem – Version A A ball is dropped from a height of 50 feet. It rebounds 4/5 of it’s height, and continues this pattern until it stops. How far does the ball travel? 50 40 40 32 32 32/5 32/5

The Bouncing Ball Problem – Version B A ball is thrown 100 feet into the air. It rebounds 3/4 of it’s height, and continues this pattern until it stops. How far does the ball travel? 100 100 75 75 225/4 225/4

Sigma Notation

UPPER BOUND (NUMBER) SIGMA (SUM OF TERMS) NTH TERM (SEQUENCE) LOWER BOUND (NUMBER)

Rewrite using sigma notation: 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 Arithmetic, d= 3

Rewrite using sigma notation: 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 Geometric, r = ½

Rewrite using sigma notation: 19 + 18 + 16 + 12 + 4 Not Arithmetic, Not Geometric 19 + 18 + 16 + 12 + 4 -1 -2 -4 -8

Rewrite the following using sigma notation: Numerator is geometric, r = 3 Denominator is arithmetic d= 5 NUMERATOR: DENOMINATOR: SIGMA NOTATION:
