Depending on the way you look at the numbers, they are increasing/decreasing by 0.1.
0.36- 0.1 =0.26
0.26-0.1=0.16
0.16-0.1=0.06
0.06-0.1=-0.04
-0.04-0.1=-0.14
(Or vice versa by adding 0.1 starting with -0.14)
Make sense?
The gometric means G1, G2, G3, 1/4
Answer:
H = 60(3/4)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
After each bounce, the height it reach is 3/4 the previous one.
Let the height of nth bounce be denoted as h_n and the first bounce is h_1.
We are given that h_1 = 60 cm. Following the rule in the problem, we get:
h_2 = (3/4)h_1 = (3/4)60
h_3 = (3/4)h_2 = (3/4)*(3/4)60 = 60(3/4)^2
h_4 = (3/4)h_3 = (3/4)*60(3/4)^2= 60(3/4)^3
We see that h_n = 60(3/4)^n is the formula for the height for the nth bounce. Therefore, H = 60(3/4)^x is the answer.
I hope this helps! :)
