We have been given that you drop a ball from a window 50 metres above the ground. The ball bounces to 50% of its previous height with each bounce. We are asked to find the total distance traveled by up and down from the time it was dropped from the window until the 25th bounce.
We will use sum of geometric sequence formula to solve our given problem.
, where,
a = First term of sequence,
r = Common ratio,
n = Number of terms.
For our given problem ,
and
.
Therefore, the ball will travel 100 meters and option B is the correct choice.
The graph of y=ax+b, where a≠0, is always a line:
i) increasing if a>0
ii) decreasing if a<0
Consider the decreasing case.
The line is above the x-axis, that is positive but decreasing. At 1 single point it cuts the x-axis, so x=0, and then it continues decreasing below the x-axis.
Back to our problem:
The graph of y=-1/2 x +2 is a decreasing line.,
so it CANNOT be
"positive over the interval (4, infinity) and negative over the interval (-infinity, 4)"
it is
"<span>negative over the interval (4, infinity) and positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>"
the graph is "<span>positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>", it means that the line is decreasing but above the x-axis until 4, (4 not included).
then, "negative over the interval (4, infinity)", which means that the line is now decreasing below the x-axis.
when x=4, the line cuts the x-axis.
