A certain ball is dropped from a height of x feet. It always bounces up to 2/3 x feet. Suppose the ball is dropped from 10 feet

galina1969 [7]

Given that if a ball is dropped from x feet, it bounces up to 2/3 x feet.

And the ball is dropped from 10 feet, that is x=10 feet,

So,before the first bounce it travels 10 feet distance.

Between first and second bounce it travels $\frac{2}{3}* 10 + \frac{2}{3} * 10 = 20*(\frac{2}{3})$

Between second and third bounce, it travels $20*(\frac{2}{3})^{2}$

Between third and fourth bounce, it travels $20*(\frac{2}{3}) ^{3}$

Like that between 29th and 30th bounce, it travels $20*(\frac{2}{3} )^{29}$

Hence total distance traveled is

$10+20*(\frac{2}{3} )+20*(\frac{2}{3})^{2} + 20*(\frac{2}{3}) ^{3}+......+20*(\frac{2}{3})^{29}$

= $10+20[(\frac{2}{3}) +(\frac{2}{3}) ^{2} +(\frac{2}{3}) ^{3} +.....+(\frac{2}{3} )^{29} ]$

= $10+20[\frac{\frac{2}{3}*(1-(\frac{2}{3})^{29}) }{1-\frac{2}{3} }]$

= 10+20*2*(1- $(\frac{2}{3}) ^{29}$ )

= 49.9997 feet ≈ 50 feet approximately.

How can you tell if a discontinuity of a limit is removable or not removable?

azamat

A discontinuity is present if any of ...

the limit doesn't exist
the limit is not the same as the value of the function

If the one of these that is the cause of discontinuity is the last one and defining the function will make this issue go away, then the discontinuity is removable.

Please help me to solve this question

The equation for area of a triangle is 0.5*base*height, so when you halve both the base and height, the area gets divided by 4.

The area of the first triangle is 0.5*80*40 = 1600 cm^2.

6 1/4 cm^2 is the same as 25/4 cm^2.

Now, we have to see how many times 1600 cm^2 can be divided by 4 to get 25/4 cm^2.

Area of second triangle: 1600/4 = 400
Area of third triangle: 400/4 = 100
Area of fourth triangle: 100/4 = 25
Area of fifth triangle = 25/4

So, the fifth triangle has an area of 6 1/4 cm^2.

The pattern would be the area of the nth triangle = $\frac{1600}{4^{n-1}}$
