    Geometric Series : Pennies and Checkerboard Problem

    A salesman challenged a stanger to a checker game. He told the stranger to put one penny on the first square. Then place two pennies on the next square. Then place four pennies on the third square. Continue this until all 64 squares are covered with pennies." As he'd been saving pennies for over 25 years, the stranger did n

    Sequences and Series

    I need assistance in discerning sequences and series including the classical grains and checkboard problem

    Equivalent Paths

    Let f,g ; I-->X be two paths with initial point x0 and terminal point x1. Prove that f g iff f g-bar is equivalent to the constant path at x0 . Note: the path g-bar is obtained by traversing the path g in the opposite direction. See the attached file.

    Series problem

    I got a answer but it didn't make sense here is my question again. A farmer is going to grant a sales man a reward for good work. So, the salesman said, "If you insist, I do not want much. Get your checkerboard and place one penny on the first square. Then place two pennies on the next square. Then place four pennies on the th

    CLASSIC PROBLEM - A traveling salesman (selling shoes) stops at a farm in the Midwest. Before he could knock on the door, he noticed an old truck on fire. He rushed over and pulled a young lady out of the flaming truck. Farmer Brown came out and gratefully thanked the traveling salesman for saving his daughter's life. Mr. Brown

    Geometric series: Good learning

    Use the geometric series of numbers 1, 2, 4, 8,...to find the following: What is r, the ratio between 2 consecutive terms? Can you please show how you get the answers in detail to help me Thanks. Using the formula for the nth term of a geometric series, what is the 24th term? Using the formula for the sum of a geometr

    Path components

    (See attached file for full problem description with proper symbols and equations) --- Let X be a topological space. Mapping a point to the path component which contains x establishes a map . Show that for any continuous map between topological spaces, there exists a map such that the following holds: ? ? for two co

    Multipliers and Geometric Series: Application to U.S. Economy

    Suppose that, throughout the U.S. economy, individuals spend 90% of every additional dollar that they earn. Economists would say that an individual's marginal propensity to consume is 0.90. For example, if Jane earns an additional dollar, she will spend 0.9(1)=$0.90 of it. The individual that earns $0.90(from Jane) will spend
