Answer:

b : 42 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

I went through every option and divided them by 2, then multiplied what I got by 6 and added 12, and then and added that to the original option to see if it equals 180.... basically it's just a guess and check question

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:

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

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

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

$S_{n}=910.22\ ft$

Find the number of integral solutions of x+y +z = 12, where −3 ≤ x ≤ 4, 2 ≤ y ≤ 11, and<br> z ≥ 3.

SashulF [63]

There are 59 integer solutions

Such questions are best solved by writing cases and calculating the total number of cases. So beginning with

1) x = -3. The possible combinations are as follows:-

-3 2 13

-3 3 12

-3 4 11

-3 5 10

-3 6 9

-3 7 8

-3 8 7

-3 9 6

-3 10 5

-3 11 4

10 combinations

2) x = -2

-2 2 12

through

-2 11 3

10 combinations

3) x = -1

-1 2 11

through

-1 10 3

9 combinations

4) x = 0

0 2 10

through

0 9 3

8 combinations

as we can see from the pattern at x =1 we get 7 combinations, at x =2 we get 6 combinations, at x=3 we get 5 combinations and at x =4 we get 5 combinations.

Thus total number of combinations 4+5+6+7+8+9+10+10 = 59 integer solution.
