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)

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

It takes 4 minutes per block and she can walk 12.5 blocks in 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 / 5 = 4 minutes per block

20 + 20 + 5 = 45

5 + 5 + 2.5 = 12.5

Hope this helps, I did the test last year.

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are $\frac{2}{5}$
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

When you get to the second checkpoint, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish

so

The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is equal to the total distance multiplied by 1/4

The total distance is 40 miles ( see the attached figure)

so

The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is

\frac{1}{4}(40)=10\ miles

<em>Find out the distance from the start to the first checkpoint</em>

Multiply the distance from the star to the second checkpoint by 2/5

\frac{2}{5}(10)=4\ miles

Consider the following problem: a box with an open top is to be constructed from a square piece of cardboard, 3 feet wide, by cu
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

) See annex

b) See annex

x  =  0,5 ft

y =  2 ft   and

V = 2 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:  See annex

c) V = y*y*x

d-1) y = 3 - 2x

d-2) V = (3-2x)* ( 3-2x)* x   ⇒ V = (3-2x)²*x    

V(x) =( 9 + 4x² - 12x )*x    ⇒   V(x) = 9x + 4x³ - 12x²

Taking derivatives

V¨(x) = 9 + 12x² - 24x

V¨(x) = 0              ⇒   12x² -24x +9 = 0     ⇒  4x² - 8x + 3 = 0

Solving for x (second degree equation)

x =[ -b ± √b²- 4ac ] / 2a

we get    x₁  =  1,5       and    x₂ =  0,5

We look at y = 3 - 2x    and see that the value x₂ is the only valid root

then

x  =  0,5 ft

y =    2 ft   and

V = 0,5*2*2

V = 2 ft³
