A square is cut into 9 smaller squares where each is similar to the original of which 5 are then colored blue. Each of the remaining uncolored squares are cut into 9 smaller squares where 5 out of each group of 9 are colored blue. This process is repeated indefinitely. Write the explicit form of the equation that determines the combined area of uncolored squares after n cuts.

Going from point a to point b, the cheetah traveled at an average rate of 70 mph. returning to point a, the cheetah traveled at an average rate of 40 mph. can we say that this cheetah’s average rate was 55 mph? uchet write an equation for the average rate for the trip. remember, the cheetah runs from point a to point b and back to point a. first leg of trip: second leg of trip: ⦁ the following equation represents the average rate for the trip. is this equation equivalent to the one you wrote above? explain why or why not.
