Answer:

0.3125

Step-by-step explanation:

If it decreases by 50% each time it hits the ground then all you have to do is divide 10 by 2 (50%) each time it bounces.

10 / 2 = 5 (first bounce)

5 / 2 = 2.5 (second bounce)

2.5 / 2 = 1.25 (third bounce)

Ect. . .

Until on the fifth bounce it is 0.3125m high.

<span>1) Number of letters Matilda has sorted after x hours: m(x)
</span><span>Matilda has already sorted 50 letters and continues sorting at a rate of 50 letters per hour:
</span>m(x)=50+50x
where:
Number of hours: x

Number of letters Lorraine has sorted after x hours: l(x)
Lorraine has already sorted 80 letters and continues sorting at a rate of 40 letters per hour:
l(x)=80+40x
where:
Number of hours: x

Which function can Matilda and Lorraine use to determine the total number of letters they have sorted after x hours?
Total number of letters they have sorted after x hours: f(x)

f(x)=m(x)+l(x)
f(x)=(50+50x)+(80+40x)
f(x)=50+50x+80+40x
f(x)=90x+130

Answer: The function Matilda and Lorraine can use to determine the total number of letters they have sorted after x hours is f(x)=90x+130

2) <span>How many letters will they have sorted after 6 hours?

x=6→f(6)=?
f(6)=90(6)+130
f(6)=540+130
f(6)=670

Answer: T</span>hey will have sorted 670 letters after 6 hours

Answer: First option: <span>The function that describes the total number of letters sorted by Matilda and Lorraine in x hours is given by f(x) = 90x + 130. Thus, they will have sorted 670 letters in 6 hours.</span>

In ∆ABC, the altitudes from vertex B and C intersect at point M, so that BM = CM. Prove that ∆ABC is isosceles.
alexandr402 [8]

BM=CM implies that BCM is isosceles. This means that an altitude from the third vertex A of the triangle ABC, which must necessarily go through M will intersect BC exactly in the middle. This implies that the angles <CBA = <BCA which means the ABC is isosceles.

Determine the amplitude or Period as requested. <br> Period of y= -2 sin x
Alex Ar [27]

amplitude: 2

period: 2pi

The equation for a sin function is:

y = a \sin(b(x - c) ) + d

a = the amplitude

b = the period

c = the horizontal shift

d = the vertical shift

the equation to find the period of a sin function is:

period =  \frac{2\pi}{b}

note: the amplitude is always a positive number, if there is a negative sign in front of it then that means it reflects over the x-axis.

Which expression has the same value as -73 +3/?
vovikov84 [41]

The expression come -70

given;

In mathematics, multiplication can be represented by using the symbol × or the symbol ·. Moreover, multiplication can be also represented just by leaving the numbers or values side by side without any symbol. For example, the expression 5x + y implies 5 should be multiplied by x. In this context, the expression  indicates -73 + 3

it means ; the number 73 substract from 3 and we get - 70.

visit; brainly.com/question/17241535

When we combine numbers and variables in a valid way, using operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and other operations and functions as yet unlearned, the resulting combination of mathematical symbols is called a mathematical expression.
