Suppose that a golf ball, when dropped on a floor, rebounds 2/3 of the distance from which it is dropped. For example, if the ball is dropped from 6 feet, the ball will bounce upwards 4 feet.
(b) What is the total distance that the golf ball rebounds if you drop it from 6 feet, and watch it rebound successively until it comes to a stop?
(a) What is the total distance that the golf ball rebounds if you drop it from 6 feet, and watch it rebound successively 4 times?

(a) Explain why {8,4,2,0} cannot be the first 4 terms of an arithmetic sequence.
(c) Show how you can make {8,4,2,0} into the first four terms of a geometric sequence by changing only one term.
(b) Show how you can make {8,4,2,0} into the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence by changing only one term.

The fractal shown in the diagram below is created as follows:• A shaded triangle is formed by joining the midpoints of the vertical and
horizontal sides.• A vertical line is drawn from the midpoint of the horizontal side, creating
a new isosceles right triangle.• The process is continued.

Two species of ants, the red ants and black ants, are preparing for battle. Each day the number of red ants increases by 2%, while the number of black ants increases by 2000 per day. Initially (day 1) each side has 1000 ants.
(c) On day 365 which species has the larger population?
(b) Find an explicit formula for the number of red ants on day n.
(a) Find an explicit formula for the number of black ants on day n.
