Start with two numbers and generate a sequence where the next number is the mean of the last two numbers...
Watch the video to see how to sum the sequence. Can you adapt the method to sum other sequences?
By inscribing a circle in a square and then a square in a circle find an approximation to pi. By using a hexagon, can you improve on the approximation?
This function involves absolute values. To find the slope on the slide use different equations to define the function in different parts of its domain.
The family of graphs of x^n + y^n =1 (for even n) includes the circle. Why do the graphs look more and more square as n increases?
