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?
Constructing a Brick Staircase A brick staircase has a total of 30 steps. The bottom step requires 100 bricks. Each successive step requires two less bricks than the prior step.
(a) How many bricks are required for the top step?
(b) How many bricks are required to build the staircase?
A ball is dropped from a height of 20 feet. Each time it strikes the ground, it bounces up to three-quarters of the previous height.
(a) What height will the ball bounce up to after it strikes the ground for the third time?
(b) How high will it bounce after it strikes the ground for the nth time?
(c) How many times does the ball need to strike the ground before its bounce is less than 6 inches?
(d) What total distance does the ball travel before it stops bouncing?
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?

Jodi and Jeff borrowed \(120,000 at 6.5% per annum compounded monthly for 30 years to purchase a home. Their monthly payment is determined to be \)758.48.
(a) Find a recursive formula for their balance after each monthly payment has been made.
(b) Determine Jodi and Jeff’s balance after the first payment.
(c) Using a graphing utility, create a table showing Jodi and Jeff’s balance after each monthly payment.
(d) Using a graphing utility, determine when Jodi and Jeff’s balance will be below \(100,000.
(e) Using a graphing utility, determine when Jodi and Jeff will pay off the balance.
(f) Determine Jodi and Jeff’s interest expense when the loan is paid
(h) Is it worthwhile for Jodi and Jeff to pay the additional \)100? Explain.
