A bouncy ball is dropped such that the height of its first bounce is 5.5 feet and each successive bounce is 64% of the previous

bounce's height. What would be the height of the 7th bounce of the ball? Round to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

Answer:

  0.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be convenient to let a spreadsheet compute the values for you. Here, we have written an explicit formula for the height of the n-th bounce:

  h = 5.5×0.64^(n-1)

We have written the formula this way because we are given the height of the first bounce, not the starting height. Each bounce multiplies the height by a factor of 0.64. Then the 7th bounce will have a height of ...

  h = 5.5×0.64^6 ≈ 0.378 ≈ 0.4 . . . . feet

Denise makes three times as many chocolate cupcakes as vanilla cupcakes. She also makes three dozen strawberry cupcakes. If Deni
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

6 dozens

Step-by-step explanation:

Vanilla, v = x

Chocolate, c = 3x

Strawberry, s = 3 dozens = 36

Total cupcakes = 132

Hence,

x + 3x + 36 = 132

4x = 96

x = 96 / 4

x = 24

Chocolate = 3 * 24 = 72

Dozens of chocolate = 72 /12 = 6 dozens

How can i calculate the growth rate of the values below
Grace [21]

Answer:

  12%

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the growth is ...

  f(t) = (initial value)×(growth multiplier per period)^(number of periods)

where the growth multiplier is often expressed as a percentage added to 1:

  multiplier = 1+r

  growth rate = r

__

This equation has two unknowns:

  • initial value
  • growth multiplier

In order to find these, you can make use of two of the supplied data points. I like to choose the ones that are farthest apart, as they tend to average out any errors due to rounding.

Clearly, the table tells you the initial value is 210. If you don't believe, you can put the numbers in the equation to see that:

  f(0) = (initial value)×(growth multiplier)^0

  210 = (initial value)×1

  (initial value) = 210

__

Using the last data point, we get ...

  f(7) = 210×(growth multiplier)^7

  464 = 210×(growth multiplier)^7 . . . . . . . . . fill in table value

  2.209524 = (growth multiplier)^7 . . . . . . .  divide by 210

You can solve this a couple of ways. My calculator is able to take the 7th root, so I can use it to find ...

  \sqrt[7]{2.209524}=\text{(growth multiplier)}\\1.119916\approx \text{(growth multiplier)}

Alternatively, you can use the 1/7 power:

  2.209524^(1/7) = (growth multiplier)

Another way to solve this is to use logarithms:

  log(2.209524) = 7×log(growth multiplier) . . . . . take the log

  log(2.209524)/7 = log(growth multiplier) . . . . . divide by 7

  0.04918553 ≈ log(growth multiplier)

  growth multiplier = 10^0.04918553 ≈ 1.11992 . . . . take the antilog

So, our growth multiplier is ...

  1 + r ≈ 1.11992

  r ≈ .11992 ≈ 12.0%

The rate of growth is about 12% in each period.

_____

Collapsing all of that to a single calculation:

  growth rate = (464/210)^(1/(7-0)) -1 ≈ 12.0%
