Answer:

b = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

V = ab^t

See attachment for graph

From the graph

V = 20 when t = 0

This implies that:

V = ab^t

20 = ab^0

20 = a * 1

20 = a

a = 20

Also:

V = 4 when t = 1.5

So:

4 = ab^{1.5

Substitute 20 for a

4 = 20 * b^{1.5

Divide by 20

0.2 =b^{1.5

b^{1.5} = 0.2

Take 1.5th root of both sides

b = 0.34199518933

b = 0.3 --- approximated

Ber [7]

Answer:

My sister will swing the total distance = 40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first swing my sister travels a distance of 8 feet.

In every successive swing she travels 80% of the distance of the previous distance.

So the sequence formed by the distance traveled in every swing will be a geometric sequence.

First term of the sequence 'a' = 8 feet

common ratio 'r' = 0.80

Since this sequence is an infinite geometric sequence,

Sum of this sequence = \frac{a}{(1-r)}  [Since r < 1]

                                     = \frac{8}{1-0.8}

                                     = \frac{8}{0.2}

                                     = 40 feet

Therefore, my sister will cover the total distance = 40 feet
