WHAT I CAN DO:
ICE BREAKER
PUSH IT
PUSH IT!
A child on a swing is pushed by his father until the swing reached a
maximum height of 4 feet. Then, the father released the swing and observed that
the maximum height reached by the swing decreases by 15% on each
successive swing.
1. If the swing is pushed once by the father, what will be the height reached on
the third swing? on the fourth swing? on the sixth swing?

2. Complete the table of values to present the answers to the questions in item 1.

NUMBER OF SWINGS
1 2 3 4 5 6
HEIGHT REACHED
( in feet )
4 17/5 289/100 4913/2000 2.089 1.775
Swing 1: Height = 4 feet Swing 5: a5 = a4 – (a4 x 0.15)  r =
a5 = 2.4565 – (2.4565 x 0.15)
Swing 2: a2 = a1 – (a1 x 0.15)  r =   r=
a5 = 2.4565 – 0.368475
a2 = 4 – (4 x 0.15)  r= a5 = 2.089 r = 0.85
a2 = 4 – 0.6
a2 = 3.4 r = 0.85
Swing 6: a6 = a5 – (a5 x 0.15)  r =
Swing 3: a3 = a2 – (a2 x 0.15)  r = a6 = 2.089 – (2.089 x 0.15)
a3 = 3.4 – (3.4 x 0.15)   r=
  r= a6 = 2.089 – 0.31335
a3 = 3.4 – 0.51 a6 = 1.77565
r = 0.85
a3 = 2.89 r = 0.85

Swing 4: a4 = a3 – (a3 x 0.15)  r =

a4 = 2.89 – (2.89 x
a 4 = 2.89 – 0.4335
0.15)
a4 = 2.4565
  r=

r = 0.85

2.) A geometric sequence is any sequence for

which the product between two terms is
always the same.

3.) A Geometric sequence is a sequence

obtained by adding a common difference.

T for True F for False

4.) The common ratio can be solved by

dividing any term in a geometric sequence by
the term precedes it.

5.) Geometric sequence is a sequence where

each term after the first is obtained by
multiplying the preceding term by a nonzero
constant called common ratio.
