Theoretically, the answer is infinity. however, in a non perfect universe such as our own, practically the answer would be around 17ft.

The sum to infinity of a geometric sequence where the first term is a and the common ratio r is less than 1 is:
S_{\infty} =\frac{a}{1-r}
Using this formula, the total vertical distance the ball travels before coming to rest is given by:
S_{\infty}=\frac{6}{1-\frac{3}{4}}=24\ feet

Rewrite each expression by combining like terms.<br><br> 8pq - 3pq<br><br> 2m - 3m + 4
qaws [65]

Answer:

  1. 8pq-3pq= 5pq
  2. 2m-3m+4 =4-m

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The first equation shows two terms can be combine as follow: 8pq-3pq= (8-3)pq by applying common factoring. Then, because 8-3=5, it can be expressed as 5pq.
  2. In the second equation, we have only two terms that can be factored by combining the terms that share the same factor (which is m). Then, 2m-3m+4 can be expressed like m(2-3)+4. Because (2-3)=-1 and because the order of the sum does not affect the result, the result is 4-m.

The area of a rectangle has decreased by 2%.
MissTica

Answer:

The other side was decreased to approximately .89 times its original size, meaning it was reduced by approximately 11%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start with the basic equation for the area of a rectangle:

l × w = a

And now express the changes described above as an equation, using "p" as the amount that the width is changed:

(l × 1.1) × (w × p) = a × .98

Now let's rearrange both of those equations to solve for a / l.  Starting with the first and easiest:

w = a/l

now the second one:

1.1l × wp = 0.98a

wp = 0.98a / 1.1l

1.1 wp / 0.98 = a/l

Now with both of those equalling a/l, we can equate them:

1.1 wp / 0.98 =  w

We can then divide both sides by w, eliminating it

1.1wp / 0.98w = w/w

1.1p / 0.98 = 1

And solve for p

1.1p = 0.98

p = 0.98 / 1.1

p ≈ 0.89

So the width is scaled by approximately 89%

We can double check that too.  Let's multiply that by the scaled length and see if we get the two percent decrease:

.89 × 1.1 = 0.979

That should be 0.98, and we're close enough.  That difference of 1/1000 is due to rounding the 0.98 / 1.1 to .89.  The actual result of that fraction is 0.89090909...  if we multiply that by 1.1, we get exactly .98.

Solve for x. Geometry problem.
barxatty [35]

Answer:

12.33

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 2 + 9x - 3 = 180° (linear pair)

6x + 9x - 2 - 3 = 180°

15x - 5 = 180°

15x = 180 + 5

15x = 185

x = 185/15

x = 12.33

hope this helps you!
