Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

With the hypotenuse being the highest value in a triangle, the other sides must be either the same or lower than the value of the hypotenuse.

Answer is A.

Because x is the same size as 12 and it is asking you which number could not be the value of x

Suppose a ball is dropped from a height of 16 feet. Each time it drops h feet, it rebounds 0.81h feet. Find the total distance t

Roman55 [17]

When the ball is first dropped, it falls $h$ feet. On the first bounce, it rebounds $0.81h$ feet, which means on the second "drop" it must travel $0.81h$ feet again. On the second bounce, the ball rebounds $0.81(0.81h)=0.81^2h$ feet, and on the third drop falls the same distance. And so on.

So there are two directions to track:

$\text{downward: }\displaystyle h+0.81h+0.81^2h+\cdots=\sum_{n=0}^\infty 0.81^nh$
$\text{upward: }\displaystyle 0.81h+0.81^2h+\cdots=\sum_{n=1}^\infty 0.81^nh$

The total distance is the sum of these two:

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty 0.81^nh+\sum_{n=1}^\infty 0.81^nh=h+2h\sum_{n=1}^\infty 0.81^n$

Recall that for an infinite geometric sum, you have

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty r^n=1+\sum_{n=1}^\infty r^n=\frac1{1-r}$

provided that $|r|$ . So the total distance traveled by the ball is

$h+2h\left(\dfrac1{1-0.81}-1\right)\approx9.53h$

Starting with a height of $h=16$ means the total distance is about 152.42 ft.
