Question
Starting with the vertices of a square, we construct further points as shown in the figure:
is the midpoint of
is the midpoint of
is the midpoint of
, and so on. The polygonal spiral path
approaches a point
inside the square.
(a) If the coordinates of are
, show that
and find a similar equation for the
-coordinates.
(b) Find the coordinates of .
Solution
The first step in solving 11 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Starting with the vertices of a square, we construct further points as shown in the figure: is the midpoint of is the midpoint of is the midpoint of , and so on. The polygonal spiral path approaches a point inside the square.(a) If the coordinates of are , show that and find a similar equation for the -coordinates.(b) Find the coordinates of .
From the textbook chapter Sequences, Series, and Power Series you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
