Answer:
a. After the first bounce, the ball will be at 85% of 8 ft. After 2 bounces, it'll be at 85% of 85% of 8 feet. After 3 bounces, it'll be at (85% of) (85% of) (85% of 8 feet). You can see where this is going. After n bounces the ball will be at
b. After 8 bounces we can apply the previous formula with n = 8 to get
c. The solution to this point requires using exponential and logarithm equations; a more basic way would be trial and error using the previous 
increasing the value of n until we find a good value. I recommend using a spreadsheet for that; the condition will lead to the following inequality:
Let's first isolate the fraction by dividing by 72.
Now, to get numbers we can plug in a calculator, let's take the natural logarithm of both sides:
. Now the two quantities are known - or easy to get with any calculator, replacing them and solving for n we get:
Now, since n is an integer - you can't have a fraction of a bounce after all, you pick the integer right after that, or n>27.
Answer:
x=17/3, y=59. (17/3, 59).
Step-by-step explanation:
y=6x+25
y=12x-9
--------------
6x+25=12x-9
12x-6x-9=25
6x-9=25
6x=25+9
6x=34
x=34/6=17/3
y=12(17/3)-9=4*17-9=68-9=59
Answer:
<h2>1. x = 4</h2><h2>2. x = 20</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
ΔABC and ΔAJK are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:
We have:
AC = 1 + 4 = 5
AJ = 1
AB = 1 + x
AK = 1
Substitute:
<em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>
2.
ΔVUT and ΔVMN are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:
We hve:
VU = x + 8
VM = x
VT = 49
VN = 49 - 14 = 35
Substitute:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>use the distributive property a(c + b) = ab + ac</em>
<em>subtract 35x from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 14</em>
The value would be more than c
