Answer: a) H = h( 0.5 )^n
b) H = 1.125inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let H = height of the ball
n = number of time the ball bounces
h = initial height.
The exponential function to model the height of the ball will be:
H = h( 1 - 0.5)^n
H = h( 0.5 )^n
It's minus because the height of the ball is decreasing.
h = 36 inches
n = 5
H = 36( 1 - 0.5 ) ^5
H = 36( 0.5 )^5
H = 36 × 0.03125
H = 1.125inches
Answer: y = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
- Combine the like terms. -23y - 5 = 18
- Add 5 on both sides. -23y = 23
- Divide -23 on both sides. y = - 1
