Zeno's Paradox

SUPPOSE THAT A MAN WANTS TO CROSS TO THE FAR WALL OF A ROOM THAT IS 20FT ACROSS. FIRST HE CROSSES HALF OF THE DISTANCE TO REACH THE 10 FT MARK. NEXT HE CROSSES HALFWAY ACROSS THE REMAINING 10 FT TO ARRIVE AT THE 5 FT MARK. DIVIDING THE DISTANCE IN HALF AGAIN HE CROSSES TO THE 2.5 FT MARK AND CONTINUES TO CROSS THE ROOM IN THIS WAY DIVIDING EACH DISTANCE IN HALF AND CROSSING TO THAT POINT BECAUSE EACH OF THE INCREASINGLY SMALLER DISTANCES CAN BE DIVIDED IN HALF HE MUST REACH AN INFINITE NUMBER OF MIDPOINTS IN A FINITE AMOUNT OF TIME AND WILL NEVER REACH THE WALL EXPLAIN THE ERROR IN ZENO'S PARADOX.

Problem solving using discrete structures

We worked on the attached problems today in class I am now trying to work through them again for understanding and I am not getting very far. My skills in discrete mathematics are not such that I can work through these on my own effectively. 3. Seven points are located in a plane. List the possible numbers of lines determined by these points. Your final answer is simply a list of whole numbers. You should indicate how each comes about. 4. Ten pieces of candy are distributed randomly to three children, Arlo, Burl, and Clovis. a. What is the probability that Arlo gets no candy? b. What is the probability that Arlo gets more candy than Burl and Clovis together? 5. In the grid be... click for more
