Read this excerpt from Reality is Broken It's a bit counterintuitive to think about the future in terms of the past. But as a research director at the Institute for the Future
- a nonprofit think tank in Palo Alto, California, and the world's oldest future-forecasting organization—I've learned an
important trick to develop foresight, you need to practice hindsight.
How does the underlined concession help McGonigal argue that the history of gameplay can help people predict its future?
A
It shows that the author agrees with the opposing viewpoint on the value of gaming
B
It demonstrates that the author has doubts about using the past to predict the future.
С
It allows the author to rebut the claim that historical events are never repeated.
D
It gives the author an opportunity to establish herself as an authority on the topic.

2 5/8 is the final answer! : )

table a is wierd

step-by-step explanation:

6*f

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
