Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. -A ball is dropped from a height of 25 feet. Each time it strikes the ground, it bounces up to 0.7 of the previous height. The total distance the ball has travelled before the second bounce is 25 + 2(25 · 0.7) feet, and the total distance the ball has travelled before bounce n + 1 is 25+∑k=1n50(0.7k) feet. 25 + \sum _ { k = 1 } ^ { n } 50 \left( 0.7 ^ { k } \right) \text { feet. } Use facts about infinite geometric series to calculate the total distance the ball has travelled by the time it has stopped bouncing.

Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. Use the Principle of Mathematical Induction to show that the statement is true for all natural numbers n. -Use the Principle of Mathematical Induction to show that the statement "5 is a factor of 7n−2n7 ^ { \mathrm { n } } - 2 ^ { \mathrm { n } } " is true for all natural numbers. (Hint: 7k+1−2k+1=7(7k−2k)+5⋅2k7 ^ { \mathrm { k } + 1 } - 2 ^ { \mathrm { k } + 1 } = 7 \left( 7 ^ { \mathrm { k } } - 2 ^ { \mathrm { k } } \right) + 5 \cdot 2 ^ { \mathrm { k } } )
