Forty and nine thousandths is the same thing as 40.009 in Standard form.
Vertical translation 3 units down, vertical compression by a factor of 0.5, and r<span>eflection across the x-axis. This is because since the number -3 is outside of the parenthesis, it is a vertical translation and is since it is negative it is 3 down. If the number multiplied by the function is less than 1 it is a compression and if it is greater than 1 it is a stretch. And the negative represents the reflection across the x axis.

Since there are 2 rows with 8 in each row, your equation is: C=2(8), where C stands for the number of chairs. 8x2, or 8+8, equals 16. There are 16 chairs set up.
The 0.7 gives the next height of each bounce
For example say first bounce was 7 ft then next bounce will be t*0.7 = 4.9 ft
Then next boune will be 7*(0.7)^2 and so on.
