Day 3 Homework
1. An auditorium has 20 seats on the first row, 24 seats on the second row, 28 seats
on the third row, and so on. It has 30 rows of seats.
a. How many seats are in the auditorium?

b. If tickets are sold at $5 each, how much money will be made if only half
the auditorium is
filled?

2. A ball is dropped from a height of 16 feet. Each time it drops, it rebounds 80% of
the the height from
which it is falling. Find the total distance traveled by the
ball.

3. You visit the Grand Canyon and drop a penny off the edge of a cliff. The distance
the penny will fall is
16 feet the first second, 48 feet the next second, 80 fee the third second, and so
on in an arithmetic
sequence. What is the total distance the object will fall in 6 seconds?

4. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180, of a quadrilateral is 360, and
of a pentagon is 540. Assuming this pattern continues, find the sum of the interior
angles of a dodecgon (12 sides.)

5. A culture of bacteria doubles every 2 hours. If there are 500 bacteria at the
beginning, how many bacteria will there be after 24 hours?
