Answer:

x>-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-x/2 + 3/2 <5/2

Multiply by 2 to clear the fraction

(-x/2 + 3/2 ) *2<5/2*2

-x +3 < 5

Subtract 3 from each side

-x+3-3 <5-3

-x <2

Multiply by -1, remembering to flip the inequality

x>-2

Answer:

(b) T(x, y) -> (x-3, y-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Each image point is 3 left and 6 down from the corresponding pre-image point. That is -3 is added to each x-value, and -6 is added to each y-value. That transformation is represented by ...

T(x, y) ⇒ (x-3, y-6)

Suppose a ball is dropped from a height of 16 feet. Each time it drops h feet, it rebounds 0.81h feet. Find the total distance t

Roman55 [17]

When the ball is first dropped, it falls $h$ feet. On the first bounce, it rebounds $0.81h$ feet, which means on the second "drop" it must travel $0.81h$ feet again. On the second bounce, the ball rebounds $0.81(0.81h)=0.81^2h$ feet, and on the third drop falls the same distance. And so on.

So there are two directions to track:

$\text{downward: }\displaystyle h+0.81h+0.81^2h+\cdots=\sum_{n=0}^\infty 0.81^nh$
$\text{upward: }\displaystyle 0.81h+0.81^2h+\cdots=\sum_{n=1}^\infty 0.81^nh$

The total distance is the sum of these two:

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty 0.81^nh+\sum_{n=1}^\infty 0.81^nh=h+2h\sum_{n=1}^\infty 0.81^n$

Recall that for an infinite geometric sum, you have

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty r^n=1+\sum_{n=1}^\infty r^n=\frac1{1-r}$

provided that $|r|$ . So the total distance traveled by the ball is

$h+2h\left(\dfrac1{1-0.81}-1\right)\approx9.53h$

Starting with a height of $h=16$ means the total distance is about 152.42 ft.
