Answer:

0.11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Every bounce, the ball bounces to 75% of its previous bounce, so the first few bounces will give us heights of

20 ft (0 bounces)

20 × 0.75 = 15 ft (1 bounce)

20 × 0.75 × 0.75 = 11.25 ft (2 bounces)

We can express the continued multiplication by 0.75 as an exponent, so that after the nth bounce, the ball will bounce $20(0.75)^{n}$ feet. Plugging in 18 for n gets us

$20(0.75)^{18}\approx 0.11$ feet.

A straight line intersects the curved graph y=x^2-4x at the point where x=-1 and x=-2. Work out the equation of the straight lin

mestny [16]

Y = -7x - 2 Use the two points given to find the slope (m) m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) m = ( 12-5 ) / (-2 - (-1)) m = -7 Now we have y = -7x + b where 'b' is our y-intercept. We can solve for 'b' by choosing one of the (x,y) coordinate points and plugging them in. Let's choose the point (-1,5). Plug -1 in for 'x' and 5 in for 'y' and solve for 'b'. y = -7x + b 5 = -7(-1) + b b = -2 Final eqn: y = -7x - 2

Find the coordinates of the points of intersection of the graphs with coordinate axes: y=− 1/4 x+2

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, you can use a simple formula.

To find the point of intersection you just put x=0 or y=0.

Because, if a graph intersects x-axis, then at this point y=0

Similarly, if a graph intersects y-axis, then at this point x=0

So, for our given line.

y=-1/4 x +2

when , x=0 , y=-1/4 (0)+2=2

So, the graph intersects y-axis at y=2

when , y=0 ,

then 0=-1/4 x+2

or, 1/4 x=2

or, x=8 [multiplying by 4]

So, the graph intersects x-axis at x=8

If the area of a circle is 121pie square units, what is the diameter

velikii [3]

Since you are given the area, we can solve for radius with this equation:
$A_c = \pi r^2$
$r = \sqrt{ \frac{A_c}{ \pi } } = \sqrt{ \frac{121 \pi }{ \pi } } = \sqrt{121} = 11$

The radius is 11, so the diameter must be 2 times that, which is 22. With the correct units, the answer is 22 units²

Answer:

35% or 0.35

Step-by-step explanation

If 20 grams is 100%, that means each gram is 5% of the whole. So 7 time 5 is 35.
