Problem of the Week: The Chess Board ProblemThere once was a humble servant who was also a chess master. He taught his kingto play the game of chess. The king became fascinated by the game and offeredthe servant gold or jewels payment, but the servant replied that he only wantedrice: one grain for the first square of chess board, two on the second, four onthe third, and so on with each square receiving twice as much as the previoussquare. The king quickly agreed. How much rice does the king owe the chess mas-ter? Suppose it was your job to pick up the rice. What might you use to collectit? A grocery sack, a wheelbarrow, or perhaps a Mac truck? Where might you storethe rice?

Definition of a one-to-one correspondenceA one-to-one correspondence between sets A and B is a pairing of each object in A with one and onlyone object in B, with the dual property that each object in B has been thereby paired with one andonly one object in A.

CountingFinite sets that can be put into a one-to-one correspondence necessarily have the same number of el-ements. A set that contains n objects can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the set thatcontains the first n natural numbers. The process of making the one-to-one correspondence is calledcounting. Consequently, before learning to count a child needs to understand one to one correspon-dence.

Problem of the Week: A probability investigationSuppose we have a box containing 5 white balls, 3 black balls, and 2 red balls.Is it possible to add the same number of each color balls to the box so that whena ball is drawn at random the probability that it is a black ball is 1
3? What isthe largest possible probability that can be realized?

A sequence may no have a limit
There are two ways by which a sequence may not have a limit.1 The terms in the sequence may increase (or decrease) beyond all bounds. In this case, we would write
limn→∞
an =∞ (or limn→∞
an = −∞).2 Two different subsequences may have different limits.

Definition: Parabola, quadraticA parabola is the graph of a function which has the form
y = ax2 + bx+ c
Such functions are called quadratic functions or quadratic polynomials.

If an object is thrown upward, dropped, or thrown downward and travels in a vertical line subjectonly to gravity (with wind resistance ignored), then the height s(t) of the object above the ground (infeet) after t seconds is given by
s(t) = −16t2 + V t+H
Where H is the initial height of the object at starting time (t = 0) and V is the initial velocity (speed infeet per second) of the object at starting time (t = 0).98. Graph the function for the case when a rock is dropped from a height of 200 feet.

The stretching area principle:If a geometric figure is stretched or shrunk by a factor of r in one direction, then the area increases(decreases) by a factor of r.
The scaling area principle:If an geometric figure is enlarged (or reduced) by a factor of r, then the area increases (decreases) bya factor of r2.
