Many games depend on how a ball bounces. For example, if different basketballs rebounded differently, one basketball would bounc

e differently off of a backboard than another would, and this could cause basketball players to miss their shots. For this reason, manufacturers have to make balls' bounciness conform to specific standards. Listed below are "bounciness " standards for different kinds of ball. Tennis balls: Must rebound approximately 111 cm when dropped from 200 cm. Soccer balls: Must rebound approximately 120 cm when dropped from 200 cm onto a steel plate. Basketballs: Must rebound approximately 53 .5 inches when dropped from 72 inches onto a wooden floor. Squash balls: Must rebound approximately 29 .5 inches when dropped from 100 inches onto a steel plate at 70∘F Discuss with your team how you can measure a ball's bounciness. Which ball listed above is the bounciest? Justify your answer.

Answer:

Basketball = 0.743

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tennis:

Starting Height = 200 cm

Rebound Height = 111 cm

Soccer Balls;

Starting Height = 200 cm

Rebound Height = 120 cm

Basketball:

Starting Height = 72 inches

Rebound Height = 53.5 inches

Squash:

Starting Height = 100 inches

Rebound Height = 29.5 inches

For measuring the bounciness of a ball, one needs that starting Height of and the rebound Height of that ball which have been listed out above.

Calculating the rebound ratio of each balls.

Rebound Ratio = Rebound Height/Starting Height

Tennis: 111/200= 0.556

Soccer Balls: 120/200 = 1.667

Basketball: 53.5/72 = 0.743

Squash: 29.5/100 = 0.295

From the rebounding ratio calculated above, it can be seen that basketball has the highest rebound ratio of 0.743 and is the bounciest of all whole Squash has the least rebound of 0.295 ratio, hence it is the least bounce of all.

At what value of x does the graph of the following function F(x) have a vertical asymptote? F(x) = 4x/3x-6
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

vertical asymptote at x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.

3x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 2 ← is the vertical asymptote
