    I. SITUATION

    A mountain climber wants to climb up a mountain thot is 1 000 meters high. In the first hour, he

    climbed half the height of the mountain. In the second hour, he climbed half the distance he

    climbed in the first hour. In the third hour, he climbed half the distance he climbed in the second

    You are tasked to determine whether the mountain climber will eventually be able to reach the

    peak of the mountain or not. If so, determine how many hours will he need to reach the peak. If

    not, you must explain why. As a mathematician, you must be able to relate this to the concept of

    limits.

    III. CONCLUSION

    In conclusion, with a constantly decreasing travel rate, it would take the climber an infinitely long

    time to reach the end of the 1,000-meter path. As the climber travels for more hours, the distance

    covered each hour gets smaller. This continually shrinking rate of travel means the climber would

    never reach the 1,000-meter mark.

    1st hour: 500meters 2nd hour: 250 meters 3rd hour:123 meters 10th hour 0.9766 meters
