A ball is dropped from a height of 48 feet. Each time the ball bounces, it travels back up half the distance from which it fell.

How many feet has the ball traveled when it hits the ground from the fifth time?

1st drop : 48
1st bounce:24
2nd drop : 12
2nd bounce: 6 and so on and so forth:

This is a geometric progression with 1st term a = 48 and common ratio r= 1/2

The sum of all terms in a G.P is 

S=a(1 - rⁿ⁻¹)/(1-r), 
S = 48(1 - r⁴)/(1-r). Replace r by 1/2
S = 48[1-(1/2)⁴]/(1/2)

S = 90 ft

What is the equation for​
WARRIOR [948]

The equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is y = –4x – 16.

Solution:

The equation of a line given is y = 0.25x – 7

Slope of the given line(m_1) = 0.25

Let m_2 be the slope of the perpendicular line.

Passes through the point (–6, 8).

<em>If two lines are perpendicular then the product of the slopes equal to –1.</em>

\Rightarrow m_1 \cdot m_2=-1

\Rightarrow 0.25\cdot m_2=-1

\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{-1}{0.25}

\Rightarrow m_2=-4

Point-slope intercept formula:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

x_1=-6, y_1=8 and m=-4

Substitute these in the formula, we get

y-8=-4(x-(-6))

y-8=-4(x+6)

y-8=-4x-24

Add 8 on both sides of the equation.

y-8+8=-4x-24+8

y=-4x-16

Hence the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is

y = –4x – 16

15 points and crown <br> solve by factoring (x+6)(2x-5)=0<br> I am confused
Reika [66]
Remember, in order for this equation to be true either one of the polynomials has to equal 0
So:

-> x+6 = 0

x=-6


-> 2x-5 = 0

2x= 5

x= 5/2


So the answer is x=-6 and x= 5/2.


Hope this helps!
