Let’s check out your problem:

A piece of paper has an area of 250 square inches. A person cuts off 1/5 of the piece of paper. Then a second person cuts off 1/5 of the remaining paper. A third person cuts off 1/5 what is left, and so on.
a. Complete the table where A(n) is the area, in square inches, of the remaining paper after the n^th person cuts off their fraction.
b. Define A for the n^th term.
c. What is a reasonable domain for the function A? Explain how you know.

Here is the recursive definition of a sequence: f(1)=45, f(n)=f(n-1)-7 for n >= 2.
a. List the first 5 terms of the sequence.
b. Graph the value of each term as a function of the term number.
(From Unit 1, Lesson 7.)
