Answer:

9 represents the initial height from which the ball was dropped

Step-by-step explanation:

Bouncing of a ball can be expressed by a Geometric Progression. The function for the given scenario is:

f(n)=9(0.7)^{n}

The general formula for the geometric progression modelling this scenario is:

f(n)=f_{0}(r)^{n}

Here,

f_{0} represents the initial height i.e. the height from which the object was dropped.

r represents the percentage the object covers with respect to the previous bounce.

Comparing the given scenario with general equation, we can write:

f_{0} = 9

r = 0.7 = 70%

i.e. the ball was dropped from the height of 9 feet initially and it bounces back to 70% of its previous height every time.

if serena invested the 2500 in the cd that she yields at 4% interest, what will the cdbe worthafte 2 years?
Naya [18.7K]

Your answer would be <u>2700</u>

Using I=P*r*t

P= 2500

R= 4% (substitue to 0.04)

T= 2 Years

I= 2500* 0.04 * 2

I= 100* 2

I= 200

2500+200=

2700
