Solve the problem.Mari drops a ball from a height of 13 meters and notices that on each bounce the ball returns to about  of its previous height. About how far will ball travel before it comes to rest?

A recursion formula and the initial term(s) of a sequence are given. Write out the first five terms of the sequence.a1 = 1, an+1 = 3an

Find the limit of the sequence if it converges; otherwise indicate divergence.an = 3 + (0.2)n

Write the first four elements of the sequence. n
