X= 9 x=2
-2 × -9=18
-2 + -9= -11
Answer:
7.2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
plug in x = 3 since we are looking for the height after the 3rd bounce
4(0.6)(3)
4(1.8)
7.2
In this case we are dealing with the pythagorean theorm involving right angled triangles. This theorm states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 which means the square of the hypotenuse (side c, opposite the right angle) is equal to the square of the remaining two sides.
In this case we will say that a = 3963 miles which is the radius of the earth. c is equal to the radius of the earth plus the additional altitude of the space station which is 250 miles; therefore, c = 4213 miles. We must now solve for the value b which is equal to how far an astronaut can see to the horizon.
(3963)^2 + b^2 = (4213)^2
b^2 = 2,044,000
b = 1430 miles.
The astronaut can see 1430 miles to the horizon.
