Using a geometric series to find the total distance a tennis ball travels
For my hands on activity I decided to look into a problem that I can relate too. I walked the class through how to find the total distance a tennis ball traveled after I dropped it from a 7 foot height. To do this, I talked about how to use a geomteric sequence and series to find the total distance. When you plug in all the values of the geometric series formula and solve we found the total distance of the ball
