Question:

Zeno's paradoxes remind us of an argument that might lead to an absurd conclusion:

Suppose I am playing baseball and decide to steal second base. To run from first to second base, I must first go half the distance, then half the remaining distance, and then again half of what remains. This process is continued so that I never reach second base. Therefore, it is pointless to steal a base.

Draw an appropriate figure for this problem and then present a mathematical argument using sequences to show that the conclusion is absurd.
