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)
