Answer: it will trave 56.89 meters before coming to rest.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric progression since the distance travelled (height) by the ball is reducing by a constant ratio, r. Since the number of times that the ball will bounce is infinite, then we would apply the formula for determining the sum of the terms in a geometric progression to infinity which is expressed as
S = a/(1 - r)
where
S = sum of the distance travelled by the ball
a = initial distance or height of the ball
r = common ratio
From the information given,
a = 128/9
r = (32/3)/(128/9) = 0.75
Therefore,
S = (128/9)/(1 - 0.75) = 56.89 meters
Answer:
a) 675 000
b) 685 000
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of a town is 680 000 correct to the nearest 10 000.
a) To find it lower bound, we level of accuracy by 2 and then subtract from 680 000
The lower bound is:
680 000-5000=675,000
Therefore the least possible population of the town is 675 000
b) We repeat the same process to find the upper bound
680 000+5000=685,000
