Question

A bouncing ball reaches a height of 27 feet at its first peak, 18 feet at its second peak, and 12 feet at its third peak. Describe how a sequence can be used to determine the height of the ball when it reaches its fourth peak..

Answer 1

Answer:

it can be used to determine the next high by simply dividing the previous number by 1.5

27/1.5=18 (1st to 2nd)

18/1.5=12 (2nd to 3rd)

12/1.5=8 (3rd to 4th)

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to find the similarity in them first check if they add or subtract the same numbers.

    -9      -6

27     18      12

so no. Which means it has to be a factor or a division.

27/1.5=18

18/1.5=12

12/1.5=8

and so it continue
