A rubber ball is dropped onto a hard surface from a height of 9 feet, and it bounces up and down. At each bounce it rises to 80%

of the height from which it fell.
a. Find a formula for h(n), the height in inches reached by the ball on bounce n.
h(n) =

b. How high will the ball bounce on the 10 bounce?


c. How many bounces before the ball rises no higher than an inch?

There are 12 inches in a foot, so 9ft = 108in. Also, 80% = 0.8. Therefore the formula is: h(n) = 108 * 0.8^n. To find the bounce height after 10 bounces, substitute n=10 into the equation: h(n) = 108 * 0.8^10 = 11.60in (2.d.p.). Finally to find how many bounces happen before the height is less than one inch, substitute h(n) = 1, then rearrage with logarithms to solve for the power, x: 108 * 0.8^x = 1; 0.8^x = 1/108; Ln(0.8^x) = ln(1/108); xln(0.8) = ln(1\108); x = ln(1/108) / ln(0.8) = -4.682 / -0.223 = 21 bounces

Right isosceles triangles are constructed on the sides of a 3−4−5 right triangle, as shown. A capital letter represents the area
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

because the triangles are isosceles, that means that the area of Z is 5x5x1/2, which equals 12.5

the area of X is 4.5

the area of y is 8

(8+4.5)/(12.5) = 1

In everyday English, interpret the financial meaning of the
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The y-intercept refers to the y-coordinate of a point where a curve or a line, intersects the y-axis.

In the given equation, the y-intercept is ( 0, 9.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation;

y=0.10x+9.50

The y-intercept is simply the y-coordinate of a point where the line intersects the y-axis. At this point, the value of x is usually zero.

y = 0.10 (0) + 9.50

y = 0 + 9.50

y = 9.50

is our y-intercept

Could someone explain this?
77julia77 [94]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

The curve's highest value is -1.

The curve's lowest value is -5.

For a symmetrical wave like this*, the amplitude is half the difference between the highest and lowest values:

  1/2(-1 -(-5)) = 2

The amplitude is 2.

_____

* There is no general agreement as to how to compute the amplitude when the wave is asymmetrical. Some authors use the same formula. Some consider the amplitude to be the maximum deviation from average. Some define only a "peak-to-peak" amplitude in those cases. The meaning of "amplitude" in those cases depends on the context in which the question is asked.
