Question 1088913: The world is three dimensional, but drawings are done in a two dimensional surface, we know that railroad tracks are parallel, but to create a feeling of depth in a drawing, tracks are often drawn as though they meet The point where they seem to meet is called a vanishing point. This technique is called perspective drawing.
Strong Armed Laborer: To build the track of the Canadian Pacific railroad, a freight loaded with was hauled to the end of the trails. Workers carried the crossties farther down the roadbed to extend the rails.
Legendary Locomotive: During the Civil War, the engine was hijacked by soldiers who planned to up a bridge, Confederate troops pursued them, and an 18 hour, 139 km (87 mile chase, caught up with the engine and recaptured it.

Spanning Three Generations These three trains represent more than 25 years of development, the original "Bullet Train" was built in 1964. Series 300 was built in 1992. It has a top speed of 168 mi/h.
1. Draw a set of railroad tracks such that the lengths of horizontal ties form a geometric sequence.
2. Write the first four terms of the sequence.
3. Write a recursive formula for the sequence.
4. Write an explicit formula for the sequence.
Please explain with detailed steps
