A tennis ball is dropped from an initial height of 30 feet. It bounces 5 times, with each bounce height being about 2/3 of the h

eight of the previous bounce.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm thinking you want to know the height of the ball on that 5th bounce, right? This is of the form

y=a(b)^x

where a is the initial height and b is the decay factor.  If the ball comes up to 2/3 of its height from the previous bounce, then b = 2/3 and our equation is

y=30(\frac{2}{3})^x

If you want to know the height y of the 5th bounce x, sub in a 5 for x and solve for y:

y=30(\frac{2}{3})^5 and get that

y = 320/81 or as a decimal, 3.9506 feet

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) For each situation to grow or decay by a constant percent rate, it must be exponential. Therefore, the correct examples are

A. The number of cars sold doubles every year. It is a 200% growth every year.

D. Each time you start a car engine the remaining engine life decreases by 0.0075%. A case of decay

E. The number of people creating cat videos increases by 15% percent every year.

F. Computer technology increases by a factor of 3 every five years.

2) this is a case of exponential decay. The expression for exponential decay is

y = b(1 - r)^t

y = final value

b = initial value

r = decay rate

t = time

Given that

r = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1

b = 50 kilograms

y = W kilograms

The relationship is

W = 50(1 - 0.1)^t

W = 50(0.9)^t

Solving inequalities, what is x/18>27
Lunna [17]

Answer:   x > 486

Explanation:

We have some number x and we divide that by 18. The result is larger than 27. To find possible values for x, we need to undo what is happening to x. The opposite of division is multiplication. We multiply both sides by 18 to cancel out the "18" on the left side, which will isolate x to get it to its own side.

This is what the steps look like

x/18 > 27

18*( x/18 ) > 18*27 .... multiplying both sides by 18

x > 486 ... note the 18's cancel on the left side

So this means x is some number greater than 486.

PLS I NEED HELP BRAINLIEST IS UP FOR GRABS
Gwar [14]

Answer:

(a) x > 4   (b) y < -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is referring to the x-values while the range is referring to the y-values.

Since the function (the line) has a circle at the point (4, -2), the function will be exclusive at that coordinate.

The line goes to infinity for the x-values from 4, so you write x > 4 or ∞ > x > 4.

Similarly, the line goes to infinity for the y-values from -2, so you write y < -2 or -∞ < y < -2.
