Luis walked one-eighth of the distance to school. What part of distance to school does he still need to walk?

klio [65]

<span>Total Distance = x
Luis walked one-eighth of x = x(1/8) = x/8
He still need to walk = Total Distance - Distance covered
He still need to walk = x-x/8
He still need to walk = (8x-x)/8

He still need to walk = 7x/8
He still need to walk = x(7/8)
He still need to walk seven-eighth of the total distance.

A bouncing ball reaches a height of 54 inches at its first peak, 36 inches at its second peak, and 24 inches at its third peak.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

f(x) = 54(two-thirds) Superscript x minus 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

First peak : 36 / 54=2/3

Second peak : 24 / 36 = 2/3

The common ratio here is 2/3 ; which mean each bounce height is 2/3 of previous height

Modeling this using geometric progression :

An=a1r^(n-1)

An = nth term of a geometric progression

a1=first term

r=common ratio = 2/3

n = nth term

a1=54

Substituting into the above formular :

An=54(2/3)^(n-1)
