Find the value of x. Round the length to the nearest tenth.
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 5.13 yards to the nearest tenth
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram is redrawn and labelled in the attached photo.
It is labelled as triangle ABC. Angle A is determined to be 25 degrees. This is because it is alternate to 25 degrees at the top.
To find x, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Tan # =opposite side / adjacent side
Where # = 25 degrees
Opposite side = x
Adjacent side = 11
Tan 25 = x/11
x = 11tan25
x = 11× 0.4663
x = 5.1293 yards
x = 5.13 yards to the nearest tenth.

A
Step-by-step explanation:
This is exponential decay; the height of the ball is decreasing exponentially with each successive drop. It's not going down at a steady rate. If it was, this would be linear. But gravity doesn't work on things that way. If the ball was thrown up into the air, it would be parabolic; if the ball is dropped, the bounces are exponentially dropping in height. The form of this equation is
, or in our case:
, where
a is the initial height of the ball and
b is the decimal amount the bounce decreases each time. For us:
a = 1.5 and
b = .74
Filling in,
If ww want the height of the 6th bounce, n = 6. Filling that into the equation we already wrote for our model:
which of course simplifies to
which simplifies to
So the height of the ball is that product.
A(6) = .33 cm
A is your answer
