A bouncy ball is dropped such that the height of its first bounce is 6 feet and each successive bounce is 72% of the previous bounce's height. What would be the height of the 6th bounce of the ball? Round to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The height of the 6th bounce of the ball will be 1.2 feet.

What is geometric sequence?

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which each term is found by multiplying the preceding term by the same value.

What is the formula for finding the nth term of geometric sequence?

The nth term of the geometric sequence is given by

[tex]T_{n} =ar^{n-1}[/tex]

Where,

[tex]T_{n}[/tex] is the nth term.

r is the common ratio

a is the first term

According to the given question.

During the first bounce, height of the ball from the ground, a = 6 feet

And, the each successive bounce is 72% of the previous bounce's height.

So,

During the second bounce, the height of ball from the ground

= 72% of 6

= [tex]\frac{72}{100} (6)[/tex]

= 0.72 × 6

= 4.32 feet

During the third bounce, the height of ball from the ground

= 72% of 4.32

= [tex]\frac{72}{100} (4.32)[/tex]

= 3.11 feet

Like this we will obtain a geometric sequence 6, 4.32, 3.11, 2.23,...

And the common ratio of the geometric sequence is 0.72

Therefore,

The sixth term of the geometric sequence is given by

[tex]T_{6} = 6(0.72)^{6-1}[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} =6(0.72)^{5}[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} = 6 (0.193)[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} = 1.16 feet[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} = 1.2[/tex] feet

Hence, the height of the 6th bounce of the ball will be 1.2 feet.

After 10 years, the population of the town will be of 5905.

After 50 years, the population of the town will be of 11487.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the town after x years is given by the following equation:

[tex]P(x) = 5000(1.181)^{0.1x}[/tex]

After 10 years, the population of the town will be of:

This is P(10). So

[tex]P(10) = 5000(1.181)^{0.1*10} = 5000(1.181)^1 = 5905[/tex]

After 10 years, the population of the town will be of 5905.

After 50 years, the population of the town will be of:

This is P(50). So

[tex]P(50) = 5000(1.181)^{0.1*50} = 5000(1.181)^5 = 11487[/tex]

After 50 years, the population of the town will be of 11487.

Rational numbers are fractions or their opposites. is a rational number. Show this by writing it in the form , where a and b are integers.



plz help

Answers

Answer:

Explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is one that can be expressed in form a of a fraction whereby both the numerator and the denominator are integers.

Also, if it results in a recurring decimal it is still a rational number but if the decimal is not recurring, then it is not a rational number.

Now, for example let's consider the number 5.

It is a rational number because it can be expressed as; 5/1; 10/2; 20/4; -5/-1 e.t.c

Now, the opposite of these fractions like we are told to check in the question results in;

1/5; 2/10; 4/20; -1/-5;

The opposite will give us still a rational number because both numerator and denominator are still integers and also the value of the division is 0.2 which is a definite decimal and also can be expressed as an integer.

Hello!

We can graph by finding critical points - intersections, y-intercepts, x-intercepts.

Find the intersection point by setting the two equations equal to each other:

-4x + 3 = x - 2

Subtract x from both sides:

-5x + 3 = - 2

Subtract 3 from both sides:

-5x = -5

Divide both sides by -5:

-5x/(-5) = -5/(-5)

x = 1

Find the y-value of intersection by plugging in x = 1 into an equation:

y = 1 - 2 = -1

Intersection at (1, -1)

Find the x and y intercepts of each equation:

y = -4x + 3

Set x to 0 to find the y-intercept:

y = -4(0) + 3 = 3

Set y to 0 to find the x-intercept:

0 = -4x + 3

-3 = -4x

x = 3/4

Therefore, this equation has a y-intercept at (0, 3) and and x-intercept at (3/4, 0).

y = x - 2

Set x to 0 to find the y-intercept:

y = 0 - 2 = -2

Set y to 0 to find the x-intercept:

0 = x - 2

x = 2

Therefore, this equation has a y-intercept at (0, -2) and and x-intercept at (2, 0).

Graph the two equations with the solved critical points:

y = -4x + 3

--> (1, -1)

--> (0, 3)

--> (3/4, 0)

y = x - 2

--> (1, -1)

--> (0, -2)

--> (2, 0)

Area of the classroom floor is equals to [tex]65m^{2}[/tex].

What is area?

" Area is defined as the total space occupied by any two dimensional object."

Formula used

Volume of a cuboid = Length × width × height

Area of a classroom floor = length × width

According to the question,

Given,

Height of a classroom = [tex]2.8m[/tex]

Volume of a classroom =[tex]182 m^{3}[/tex]

Substitute the value in the formula of volume we get,

0.07 ; 0.65 ; 0.00064339296875 ; 3.02 * 10^-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Number of monkeys, n1 = 10

Probability of fall, off ; p(m) = 35% = 0.35

Number of kangaroos, n2 = 5

Probability of fall, off : p(k) = 20% = 0.2

1.) A monkey and kangaroo falls off;

p(m) * p(k) = 0.35 * 0.2 = 0.07

2.) probability that monkey will not fall off;

1 - p(m) = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

3.) probability that a monkey falls off every one of seven nights :

P(m) = 0.35 ; for 7 nights ;

0.35 *0.35 * 0.35 * 0.35 * 0.35 * 0.35 * 0.35 = 0.35^7 = 0.00064339296875

4.)

P(x ≥ 1) = p(1) + p(2) +... + p(10)

Using binomial probability calculator :

n = 7*10 = 70 ; p = 0.35

P(x ≥ 1) = 70C1 * 0.35^1 * 0.65^69 = 3.02 * 10^-12

Cleaner:

Answers

Answer:

Im pretty sure its 33 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion

2/13 = x / 39                  Cross multiply

13*x = 2 * 39                  Combine the right

13x = 78                         Divide by 13

x = 78/13

x = 6

Why pick 13? Because the total must come to 39. You will make a mistake if you use 11 rather than 13. You must include the cleaner in the denominator. Very tricky question.

So the final answer is

Cleaner: 6

Water: 39 - 6 = 33 pints of water.

Trigonometric Ratios

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios.

The longest side of the triangle is called the hypotenuse and the other two sides are the legs.

The sine ratio relates the opposite side of an angle of the triangle with the hypotenuse:

[tex]\displaystyle \sin B=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}[/tex]

Here, the opposite leg to angle B is the side CA=2, and the hypotenuse is the side AB=3, thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \sin \angle B=\frac{2}{3}=0.667[/tex]

Calculating the inverse sine function:
