Answer:

The ball traveled 116.25 m when it hit the ground for the fifth term

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric progression exercise and what we are asked to look for is the sum of a GP.

The ball was dropped from a height of 60 m. This means that the initial height of the ball is 60 m.

First value, a = 60

Each time it hit the ground, it bounced up 1/2 (half) of the height that it dropped.

This is the common ratio, r = 1/2 = 0.5

The number of terms it hits the ground is the number of terms in the GP.

number of terms, n = 5

The distance traveled by the ball when it hit the ground for the fifth term will be modeled by the equation:

S_n = \frac{a(1 - r^n) }{1 - r} \\S_5 =  \frac{60(1 - 0.5^5) }{1 - 0.5}\\S_5 =  \frac{58.125}{0.5} \\S_5 = 116.25 m

jeka94

Answer:

-48

Step-by-step explanation:

36/-3 = -12

-12 + 2(27/3 * -2)

27/3 = 9

-12 + 2(9 * -2)

9 * -2 = -18

-12 + 2(-18)

2 * -18 = -36

-12 + -36 = -12 - 36

Find cos x and cos y! Please help me out! You don’t need to answer all just what you can :)
tangare [24]

Answer:

7. cos(X) = 3/5 = 0.6

cos(Y) = 4/5 = 0.8

8. cos(X) = 15/17 ≈ 0.8824

cos(Y) = 8/17 ≈ 0.4706

9. cos(X) = 1/2 = 0.5

cos(Y) = (√3)/2 ≈ 0.8660

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonometric ratio for cosine is given as follows;

Cos(\theta) = \dfrac{Adjacent\, side \, to\,  angle}{Hypothenus\, side \, length \ of\, the \  triangle}

7. The adjacent leg length to ∠X = 27

The length of the hypotenuse side of the triangle = 45

∴ cos(X) = 27/45 = 3/5 = 0.6

Cos(X) = 3/5 = 0.6

The adjacent leg length to ∠Y = 36

∴ cos(Y) = 36/45 = 4/5 = 0.8

cos(Y) = 4/5 = 0.8

8. The adjacent leg length to ∠X = 15

The length of the hypotenuse side of the triangle = 17

∴ cos(X) = 15/17 ≈ 0.8824

The adjacent leg length to ∠Y = 8

∴ cos(Y) = 8/17 ≈ 0.4706

9. The adjacent leg length to ∠X = 13

The length of the hypotenuse side of the triangle = 26

∴ cos(X) = 13/26 = 1/2 = 0.5

Cos(X) = 1/2 = 0.5

The adjacent leg length to ∠Y = 13·√3

∴ cos(Y) = 13·√3/26 = (√3)/2 ≈ 0.8660

cos(Y) = (√3)/2 ≈ 0.8660.
