Yes you got them all correct at least I think.
A bi-millennium means two (bi) times thousand of years (millenium), this means that a bi millennium has 2000 years in it: two thousand years.
The origin of this word is latin: because of this it also has the plural of "bimillennia" <span />
I think after the 9th bounce it will lose 90% of its max height
times 40 by 0.9 which will give you 36
then take 36 away from 40 leaving you with 4.
answer = 4ft
You can take the log of the left and right hand side, and then apply the <span>logarithm rules:
log(a</span>ˣ) = x·log(a)
log(ab) = log(a) + log(b)
log(9^(x-1) * 2^(2x+2)) = log(6^(3x))
log(9^(x-1)) + log(2^(2x+2)) = 3x log(6)
(x-1) log(9) + (2x+2) log(2) - 3x log(6) = 0
x(log9 + 2log2 - 3log6) = log9 - 2log2
x = (log9 - 2log2) / (log9 + 2log2 - 3log6)
simplifying by writing log9 = 2log3 and log6 = log2+log3
x= 2(log3 - log2) / (2log3 + 2log2 - 3log2 - 3log3) =
x= -2(log3 - log2) / (log3 + log2) = -2 log(3/2) / log(6)
So 6^x = 4/9
