In this week’s assignment I will attempt complete exercises 35 and 37 in the “Real World Applications” section on page 280 of Mathematics in Our World. For each exercise‚ specify whether it involves an arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence and use the proper formulas where applicable. I will try to format my math work as shown in the “week one assignment guide” provided to us and try to be concise in my reasoning. Exercise 35: A person hired to build a CB Radio tower. The firm charges

form an edge. I.e – Each straight line - Becomes this - Hence now for everyone 1 line‚ 4 new ones are formed. Hence we can say that there is geometric progression‚ by the factor 4. Hence‚ the formula for the number of sides is Nn = 3(4)n Length of Side The length of the next side is one-third the previous length. This is once again geometric progression. Therefore‚ the equation for the nthterm is: Ln = Perimeter The perimeter of any shape = Length of each side x Number of sides

Thomas Malthus Principles of Population Today‚ there is both agreement and disagreement of Thomas Malthus’ essay on the principles of population. Malthus stated that population grows exponentially or at “geometric rate” and food production grows at arithmetic rate‚ or linearly. Geometric rate grows in a series of numbers (2‚4‚8‚16‚32…etc.)‚ which shows that children will grow up and each have their own children‚ and those children will have their own children. Eventually the base numbers of children

Susan Dellinger: Psycho-Geometrics I love great public speakers. I’ve seen some great ones in my life. They captivate the audience‚ entertain‚ educate‚ even make you laugh. The most important part is that they make it look effortless and natural. Susan Dellinger‚ the speaker for the video‚ "Psycho-Geometrics" is one of them. Her presentation was incredibly entertaining‚ interesting‚ and funny. But the focal point was definitely Ms. Dellinger herself. The level of excitement in her voice was great

consecutive arithmetic progression terms as “d”‚ which is a common notation. Geometric Progressions (GP) A geometric progression is a list of terms as in an arithmetic progression but in this case the ratio of successive terms is a constant. In other words‚ each term is a constant times the term that immediately precedes it. Let us write the terms in a geometric progression as T1 ‚ T2 ‚ T3 and so on. An example of a geometric progression is 10; 100; 1000; 10000; Since the ratio of successive terms

Assessing hybrids according to some selection indices lead to introduce BC504‚ BC652‚ BC404‚ KSC302‚ KSC320 and KSC647 as drought tolerant ones. It seems likely that Stress Tolerance Index‚ Geometric Mean Productivity‚ and Harmonic Mean indices‚ which showed the highest correlation with grain yield under both optimal and stress conditions‚ can be used as the best indices for maize breeding programs to introduce drought tolerant hybrids.
