Ok, so this is a sum of aruthmetic sequence and also use some logic

it goes 10 feet down, then 5 up, 5 down, etc (see attachment)

so the total distance is the sum of all the numbers in the sequence doubled, minus the first term (since it didn't bounce 10 feet up, it started from top)

the sum of an aruthmetic is
Sn=\frac{a_{1}(1-r^n)}{1-r}
where a1=first term, r=common ratio and n=which time

first term=10
common ratio is 0.5
n=4

so
2[\frac{10(1-0.5^4)}{1-0.5}]-10=answer27.5

the answer is 27.5 feet

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: 82%

Step-by-step explanation:

- - - - - - - - college - - not college - - - - total

Travel - - - - 43 - - - - - - - 10 - - - - - - - - 53

Not travel - 24 - - - - - - - 5 - - - - - - - - - 29

Total - - - - 67 - - - - - - - 15 - - - - - - - - - 82

Marginal relative frequency of students who plan to attend college:

(Number of students who plan to attend the college / Total number of the students)

Number of students who plan to attend college = 67

total number of students = 82

Marginal relative frequency = 67/82

= 0.8170731

= (0.8170731) * 100%

= 81.7% = 82%

Two similar prisms have heights 4 cm and 10cm what is the ratio of their surface areas
Slav-nsk [51]
Let k be the scale factor relating two similar prisms P_{1} and P_{2}, such that for corresponding parts of prisms P_{1} and P_{2} (for heights, in particular) we have k= \frac{height\  of \ P_{1} }{height \ of\  P_{2} }. In our case k= \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}.
For surfaces area we have \frac{Surface \ area \ of \  P_{1} }{Surface \ area \ of \  P_{2}} = k^{2} =( \frac{2}{5} )^{2}= \frac{4}{25}.
So, the right answer is 4:25 (choice B)
