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)

Answer:

add 21 to both sides to get everything on one side

x^2 - 10x + 21 = 0

do factorization, guess and check

(x - 7) (x -3) = 0

The relationship between two variables partialling out the effect that a third variable has on one of those variables can be exp
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: partial correlation.

Explanation:

partial correlation measures the degree of association between two random variables, with the effect of a set of controlling random variables removed. If we are interested in finding to what extent there is a numerical relationship between two variables of interest, using their correlation coefficient will give misleading results if there is another, confounding, variable that is numerically related to both variables of interest. This misleading information can be avoided by controlling for the confounding variable, which is done by computing the partial correlation coefficient.
