Which strategy best explains how to solve this problem?
Rufina [12.5K]
This is a geometric sequence because each term is twice the value of the previous term.  So this is what would be called the common ratio, which in this case is 2.  Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=ar^(n-1), a(n)=nth value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, n=term number

In this case we have r=2 and a=1 so

a(n)=2^(n-1)  so on the sixth week he will run:

a(6)=2^5=32

He will run 32 blocks by the end of the sixth week.

Now if you wanted to know the total amount he runs in the six weeks, you need the sum of the terms and the sum of a geometric sequence is:

s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r)  where the variables have the same values so

s(n)=(1-2^n)/(1-2)

s(n)=2^n-1 so 

s(6)=2^6-1

s(6)=64-1

s(6)=63 blocks

So he would run a total of 63 blocks in the six weeks.

When you round; you round down if the number in the selected column is below 5 and you round up if the number is 5 and above.  

Thus; if you apply this to your question:


784,072 then round up and you get 790,000
