(a) Explanation Formula used: The nth term of the sequence: The n th term of a geometric sequence is a n = a r n − 1 , where a is a first term of the sequence and r is the common ratio. Calculation: It is given that a pendulum makes its first swing through an arc of 3 feet. On each successive swing, the length of the arc is 0.95 times the previous length. That is, the first swing is 3 feet, the second swing is 0.95(3), the third swing is 0.95(0.95)(3), and so on. So, it forms a geometric sequence with the first term a 1 = 3 , the second term a 2 = 3 ( 0.95 ) and so on. The common ratio of any two term is computed as follows. r = a 2 a 1 = 3 ( 0.95 ) 3 = 0 (b) To determine The first swing such that the length of the arc is less than 1 foot. (c) To determine Total length the pendulum had swung after 10 swings. (d) To determine Total length the pendulum has swung when it stops.
