Answer:

The total distance the ball has travelled after it hits the ground the 5th time is of 48.53m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient of consecutive terms is the same. The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = a_1q^{n-1}

In which a_1 is the first term and q is the common ratio.

A super-bouncy-ball is thrown 25m into the air. The ball falls, rebounds to 70% of the height of the previous bounce and falls again.

This means that:

q = 0.7, a_1 = 25*0.7 = 17.5

Then

a_n = a_1q^{n-1}

a_n = 17.5(0.7)^{n-1}

First 5 terms:

a_1 = 17.5

a_2 = 17.5(0.7)^{2-1} = 12.25

a_3 = 17.5(0.7)^{3-1} = 8.58

a_4 = 17.5(0.7)^{4-1} = 6

a_5 = 17.5(0.7)^{5-1} = 4.2

Find the total distance the ball has travelled after it hits the ground the 5th time.

T = 17.5 + 12.25 + 8.58 + 6 + 4.2 = 48.53

The total distance the ball has travelled after it hits the ground the 5th time is of 48.53m.

Basketball shoes are on sale for 22% off. What is the regular price if the sale price is $42?
artcher [175]

Answer:

x =53.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

If the price is 22% of, you will pay 100% -22% = 78%

x * 78% = 42

Change to decimal form.

78x = 42

Divide each side by .78.

78x/.78 = 42/.78

Rounding to the nearest cent

x =53.85
