A bungee jumper falls
meters and rebounds
of the distance after each fall.
(a)
\Find first five terms of the sequence.
\The infinite geometric sequence is
.
Find the common ratio.
\The common ratio
is
, then
.
The infinite geometric series has a sum.
\Find
.
Here
:

The sum of an infinite geometric series is 
The first five terms of infinte sequence is 
Include the up and the fall hence the sequence is
