1 Progression

The document contains 4 mathematics problems involving geometric progressions: 1) Calculating the volume of the 17th cylinder given the radius and increasing heights. 2) Finding the common ratio, first term, and value of n for a progression where the sum of the first 5 terms is given. 3) Calculating the common ratio and values of n and the last term given the length of parts in a geometric progression. 4) Calculating the total cost of feeding ducks over multiple days as the number sold each day decreases the remaining amount.

(c) The smallest value of n such that the nth term exceeds 10 000. [3M]

3. SPM 2013
A wire cuts into n parts, The length of each part increases and form a geometric progression. It is
given that the length of the fifth part of the wire is 4 times the length of the third part of the wire.
(a) Calculate the common ratio. [2M]

(b) If the total length of the wire is 1533 cm and the length of the first part of the wire is 3 cm, calculate
i) The value of n
ii) The length, in cm, of the last part of the wire. [4M]

4. SPM 2015
At a certain day, a breeder has 3 000 ducks in his farm to supply to a wholesaler. He starts selling
250 ducks on the next day and subsequently for the following days. The breeder feeds the ducks
before selling.
If the cost to breed a duck is RM0.50 per day, calculate the total cost until his remaining ducks are
500.
