              The first four terms of a pattern are shown below:  
              ABBA  
              AABBBAA  
              AAABBBBAAA  
              AAAABBBBBAAAA  
              Suppose that this pattern continues.  
              1. Find an expression for the number of B's in the nth term of 
                the pattern.  
              2. Find an expression for the ratio of B's to total letters in 
                the nth term.  
              3. Use your expression to determine which term has exactly 34% 
                B's.  
              Extra: Can you find a term in the pattern that has exactly one-third 
                B's and two-thirds A's?  
              Why or why not?
