Answer:

H = 60(3/4)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

After each bounce, the height it reach is 3/4 the previous one.

Let the height of nth bounce be denoted as h_n and the first bounce is h_1.

We are given that h_1 = 60 cm. Following the rule in the problem, we get:

h_2 = (3/4)h_1 = (3/4)60

h_3 = (3/4)h_2 = (3/4)*(3/4)60 = 60(3/4)^2

h_4 = (3/4)h_3 = (3/4)*60(3/4)^2= 60(3/4)^3

We see that h_n = 60(3/4)^n is the formula for the height for the nth bounce. Therefore, H = 60(3/4)^x is the answer.

I hope this helps! :)

Answer:

17x and 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers. The coefficients do not need to match. Unlike terms are two or more terms that are not like terms, i.e. they do not have the same variables or powers. The order of the variables does not matter unless there is a power.

Use finite differences to identify the degree of the polynomial that best describes the data. 9 10 11 12 13 14
worty [1.4K]

The forward differences for this data is 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 (since 10 - 9 = 1, 11 - 10 = 1, etc). Since we only need one iteration of differences, a linear polynomial will fit the data exactly.

Find the size of the marked angles​
morpeh [17]

Answer:

b = 55°

c = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

b° = 180° - (85°+40°) = 180° - 125° = 55°

c° = 180° - (b°+90°) = 180° - (55°+90°) = 180° - 145° = 35°
