Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is modeled after an exponential function which, at its simplest, is

$y=a(b)^x$ where, for us and in this particular situation, y is the final height, a is the initial height, b is the rate of growth or decline, and x is the number of bounces. We know the initial height is 20, but we need to find the rate of decline. Rewriting the formula to model a rate of decay or decline is

$y=a(1-r)^x$ , or more closely related to our circumstances:

$H=20(1-.8)^n$ and simplifying that a bit:

$H=20(.2)^n$ , choice D.

Answer: No, your friend is not correct. You cannot use a similarity transformation to turn a square into a rectangle. Here's why:

1) If you used a similarity transformation, the size and position of the shape would change, but the shape itself remains the same.

2) Squares and rectangles are NOT similar.* Referring to the first point I listed, if the shapes are not similar, then a similarity transformation cannot be used to turn one shape into another.

<em>*Similar means that the edges are proportional to one another, such as a square with sides of 4 meters vs a square with sides of 2 meters: the sides are different lengths, but the shape is the same.</em>
