Question 1022931: The fable about the tortoise an the hare? what? lol (math)?
hello this is a math question that confused me from the first line. I do need help.
Sorry if its a little long.
You may have heard the fable about the tortoise and the hare. Suppose the tortise and he hare are running a 2000 m race. the tortoise proceeds very slow, never changing its speed.
The hare runs very quickly at the start.
The tortoise travels 20m every minute. The hare travels 1000m in the 1st minute but, in each minute, after that, it travels only half of the remaining distance. (in the 2nd minute, the hare travels half of the remaining 1000 m and so on)
a) write the series for the distance the tortoise travels for the first few minutes of each race, where Sn represents the total distance traveled after n minutes.
Each term of the series will represent the distance the tortoise travels in that minute.
(what?? so confused lol)
b) write the series for the distance the hare travels for the first few minutes of the race, where Sn represents the total distance traveled after n minutes. Each term of the series represents the distance the hare travels in that minute.
so I guess they want me to do one for the Tortoise and one for the Hare.
then finally
c) Analyze an compare the two series. include information such as Sn for both the tortoise and the hare and your conclusion as to who will win the race. provide support.
