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.

Need help thank you.

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles make up a straight line.

A straight line has 180 degrees.

x + 3x + 100 = x80          Combine

4x  +  100 = 180               Subtract 100 from both sides

4x = 180 - 100

4x  = 80                           Divide by 4

x = 80/4

x = 20
