Initially, a pendulum swings through an arc of 2 feet. On each successive swing, the length of the arc is 0.9 of the previous length.
(a) What is the length of the arc of the 10th swing?
(b) On which swing is the length of the arc first less than 1 foot?
(c) After 15 swings, what total length will the pendulum have swung?
(d) When it stops, what total length will the pendulum have swung?
Creating a Mosaic A mosaic is designed in the shape of an equilateral triangle, 20 feet on each side. Each tile in the mosaic is in the shape of an equilateral triangle, 12 inches to a side. The tiles are to alternate in color as shown in the illustration. How many tiles of each color will be required?

Stadium Construction: How many rows are in the corner section of a stadium containing 2040 seats if the first row has 10 seats and each successive row has 4 additional seats?
Cooling Air As a parcel of air rises (for example, as it is pushed over a mountain), it cools at the dry adiabatic lapse rate of 5.5°F per 1000 feet until it reaches its dew point. If the ground temperature is 67°F, write a formula for the sequence of temperatures, {Tn}, of a parcel of air that has risen n thousand feet. What is
the temperature of a parcel ofair if it has risen 5000 feet?
Extended Principle of Mathematical Induction The Extended Principle of Mathematical Induction states that if Conditions I and II hold, that is,
(I) A statement is true for a natural number j
(II) If the statement is true for some natural number , then it is also true for the next natural number .then the statement is true for all natural numbers . Use the Extended Principle of Mathematical Induction to show that the number of diagonals in a convex polygon of n sides is .
