a.
To determine the sigma notation.
a.
Answer to Problem 13CFU
The total height is around 1051 feet.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Ballon succedes 63% every minute.
Height after 1 minute is 389 feet.
Total time is 1 hour that is 60 minutes.
Hence we can represent this as,
The given series is in geometric progression, hence sum is,
Hence the total height is around 1051 feet.
b.
To determine the maximum height achieved.
b.
