The expression of the height is

$a_n=8\cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}$

the index "n" is the numbers of times that the ball is down, to n=1 the height is 8 inches, to n=2 the height is 4 inches.

An when n=5, the height is

$a_5=8\cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{5-1}=8\cdot (\frac{1}{2})^4=\frac{1}{2} =0.5$

the anwers is 0.5 inches

Paula knows the total cost for 100 students will be $750, and the cost total cost for 150 students is $1050. What is the caterer

Roman55 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

the price charged for 100 students reflects the cost per student that applies to the order as a whole.

100 * 6 = $600, so the fixed cost is 750-600 = 150.

...

We can check this by substituting in the other equation.

Does 150*6 + 150 = 1050?

150*6=900

900+150 = 1050.

Yes, it does

...

We can express this relationship by the equation:

y = mx + b

where

y = total cost

m = $6 per student

x = number of students

b = fixed costs = 150

y = 6x + 150
