Suppose a ball is thrown upward to a height of h 0 meters. After each​ bounce, the ball rebounds to a fraction r of its previous

height. Let h Subscript n be the height after the nth bounce. Consider the following values of h 0 and r. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below. h0=30​, r=0.25
a- find the first 4 terms of the sequence of heights(hn)
b- find a general expression for the nth term of the sequence (hn)

Answer:

A)1st term:45

2nd term:48.75

3rd term:49.6875

4th term:49.921875

B) Sₙ = h₀ + 2h₀((∞, n=1) Σrⁿ)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

h₀ = Initial height of the ball = 30

r = Rebound fraction = 0.25

a) The arithmetic sequence of bouncing balls is given by the following;

Sₙ=h₀+2h₀(r¹+r²+r³+r⁴.........rⁿ)

The first term of the sequence is;

S₁ = h₀ + 2h₀r¹

S₁ = 30 + (2 × 30 × 0.25)

S₁ = 45

The second term of the sequence is;

S₂ = h₀ + 2h₀(r¹+r²)

S₂ = 30 + (2 × 30 × (0.25 + 0.25²)) = 48.75

The third term of the sequence is;

S₃ = h₀ + 2h₀(r¹ + r² + r³) = 30 + (2 × 30 × (0.25 + 0.25² + 0.25³)) = 49.6875

S₄ = h₀ + 2h₀(r¹ + r² + r³ + r⁴)

S₄ = 30 + (2 × 30 × (0.25 + 0.25² + 0.25³ + 0.25⁴)) = 49.921875

B) The general expression for the nth term of the sequence is;

Sₙ = h₀ + 2h₀((∞, n=1) Σrⁿ)

HELP someone please!!!! i dont understand
ad-work [718]

Answer:

x = 65.03°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we have to apply trigonometric ratio.

Recall: SOH CAH TOA

From the diagram, we know the following:

Reference angle = x

Hypotenuse = 45

Adjacent = 19

Since we know the Hyp and Adj, we would apply CAH, which is:

Cos x = Adj/Hyp

Plug in the values

cos(x) = \frac{19}{45}

x = cos^{-}(\frac{19}{45})

x = 65.0250346°

x = 65.03° (nearest hundredth)

Keisha, Boris, and Jose sent a total of 126 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Boris sent 4 times as many
tangare [24]

Answer:

Boris=504 keisha=120

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would start off by Multiplying 4x126 the result of that is= 504 so thats how much Boris sent. To get the answer to how many jose sent you simply just subtract 6-126 and that should result in 120

How do you Convert feet to metres<br>​
poizon [28]

The conversion of feet to meters is obtained by multiplying 1 foot = 0.3048 meters.

<h3>What are the basic measurements for length?</h3>

Foot, inches, centimeters, and meters are the basic measuring units for length.

<h3>What are the basic conversions?</h3>

The basic conversions are:

1 kilometer = 1000 meters

1 meter = 100 cm

1 cm = 10 mm

1 mm = 0.03937 inch

1 inch = 0.0833 feet.

<h3>How to convert feet to meters?</h3>

According to the international system of units,

1 foot = 12 inches ...(1)

But we know,

1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 mm = 0.1 cm, and 1 cm = 0.01 m

By substituting all of these in equation (1), we get

1 foot = 12(25.4 mm)

         = 304.8 mm

         = 304.8 (0.1 cm)

         = 30.48 cm

         = 30.48(0.01 m)

         = 0.3048 meters

Therefore, 1 foot = 0.3048 meters.

Evaluate the expression 3(7 + 4)2 − 14 ÷ 7. 50 361 363 586
Kipish [7]
It appears that none of your option choices are correct,, are you sure you copied them right ? I will show you how to solve this and how I got my answer.
The first step for solving this is to add the numbers in the parenthesis.
3 × 11 × 2 - 14 ÷ 7
Divide -14 by 7.
3 × 11 × 2 - 2
Divide the first 3 numbers together.
66 - 2
Subtract the numbers together to get your final answer.
64
