31) A company adopts an advertising campaign to weekly add to its customer base. It assumes that as an average
fifty percent of its new customers, those added the previous week, will bring in one friend, but those who have
been customers longer will not be very effective as recruiters and can be discounted. A media campaign brings
in 10,000 customers initially. What is the expected total number of customers with whom the company can
expect to have dealings?

33) An object is rolling with a driving force that suddenly ceases. The object then rolls 10 meters in the first second,
and in each subsequent interval of time it rolls 80% of the distance it had rolled the second before. This slowing
is due to friction. How far will the object eventually roll?
