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.

The table of values represents an exponential function f(x).
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

-3.98 (nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of function f(x) over the interval a ≤ x ≤ b is given by:

\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Given interval:  -2 ≤ x ≤ 2

\implies a = -2

\implies b = 2

\implies f(a) = f(-2)=16

\implies f(b) =f(2)= \dfrac{1}{16}

Substituting the values into the equation:

\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{rate of change} & =\dfrac{\frac{1}{16}-16}{2-(-2)}\\\\ & = \dfrac{-\frac{255}{16}}{4}\\\\ & = -\dfrac{255}{64}\\\\ & = -3.98\: \sf (nearest\:hundredth)\end{aligned}

HELP PLZZ!!???? Determine the rate at which Zayna drives for 3 hours at a rate of 44 miles per hour. Later, she drives for anoth
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

C. or 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming we are trying to find r then you would get 3*44 because distance=speed*time so distance is for the 3 hour time is 132 miles. To find the reaming distance you do 240-132= 108 so then we know distance/time=speed so 108/2=54 so the speed is 54 mph
