Question

Some students performed an experiment in which they dropped a rubber ball from a height of 920 centimeters. They noticed that after each bounce, it reached 56% of its previous height. Which equation models the height, H, for n bounces?

Answer 1

The equation models the height, H, for n bounces, will be H = 920 (0.56)ⁿ.

What is an exponent?

Consider the function:

y = a (1 ± r) ˣ

Where n is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.

If there is a plus sign, then there is exponential growth happening by r fraction or 100r %

If there is a minus sign, then there is exponential decay happening by r fraction or 100r %

Then the equation models the height, H, for n bounces will be

H = 920 (0.56)ⁿ
