Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All it is asking is what value should you plug in for x to make the equation true.

Lets solve it:

x - 11 = -5

Solve by adding 11 to both sides to isolate the x:

x = 6

kykrilka [37]

In the attached diagram you can see Place Value Chart that is used to help understand the value of each digit based on the place or position.

For the number 756:

7 has a value of 7 hundreds, or 700;
5 has a value of 5 tens, or 50;
6 has a value of 6 ones, or 6.

Answer: 5 has a value of 5 tens, or 50

If x2=4(5-1) what is the value of x

Deffense [45]

X2=4(5-1)
x2=4(4)
x2=16
x=4

Check: 4 squared (4 times 4) equals 16. When you square a number, you multiply the number by itself.

4. a) A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ratio. When you drop it from a height of k feet, it bounces and bounces endlessly. If t

Klio2033 [76]

First part of question:

Find the general term that represents the situation in terms of k.

The general term for geometric series is:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{1}$ = the first term of the series

$r$ = the geometric ratio

$a_{1}$ would represent the height at which the ball is first dropped. Therefore:

$a_{1} = k$

We also know that the ball has a rebound ratio of 75%, meaning that the ball only bounces 75% of its original height every time it bounces. This appears to be our geometric ratio. Therefore:

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

Our general term would be:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{n}=k(\frac{3}{4}) ^{n-1}$

Second part of question:

If the ball dropped from a height of 235ft, determine the highest height achieved by the ball after six bounces.

$k$ represents the initial height:

$k = 235\ ft$

$n$ represents the number of times the ball bounces:

$n = 6$

Plugging this back into our general term of the geometric series:

$a_{n}=k(\frac{3}{4}) ^{n-1}$

$a_{n}=235(\frac{3}{4}) ^{6-1}$

$a_{n}=235(\frac{3}{4}) ^{5}$

$a_{n}=55.8\ ft$

$a_{n}$ represents the highest height of the ball after 6 bounces.

Third part of question:

If the ball dropped from a height of 235ft, find the total distance traveled by the ball when it strikes the ground for the 12th time. 

This would be easier to solve if we have a general term for the <em>sum </em>of a geometric series, which is:

$S_{n}=\frac{a_{1}(1-r^{n})}{1-r}$

We already know these variables:

$a_{1}= k = 235\ ft$

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

$n = 12$

Therefore:

$S_{n}=\frac{(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})}{1-\frac{3}{4} }$

$S_{n}=\frac{(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})}{\frac{1}{4} }$

$S_{n}=(4)(235)(1-\frac{3}{4} ^{12})$

$S_{n}=910.22\ ft$

A. likely

B. unlikely

C. There is a greater chance in picking to purple marbles because there are less of the white and more purple.
