A ball is dropped and bounces to a height of 5 feet. The ball rebounds to 70% of its previous height after each bounce The function that could be used to model the nth term in the sequence of heights of the ball after the initial drop is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]T_n = 7.143(0.7^n)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If a ball bounces to a height of 5feet, the initial drop = 5feet

If the ball rebounds to 70% of its previous height after each bounce, the next height after rebouncing will be expressed as;

= 70% of 5

= 70/100 * 5

= 0.7*5

= 3.5 feet

The next height will be 0.7*3.75 = 2.45 and so on

The  heights wil form a sequence as thus;

5, 3.5, 2.45...

This sequence forms a geometric progression.

To get the function that could be used to model the nth term in the sequence of heights of the ball after the initial drop, w will find the nth term of the sequence

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

a is the first term of the sequence

n is the number of terms

r is the common ratio

From the sequence:

a = 5

[tex]r = \frac{3.5}{5} = \frac{2.75}{3.5} = 0.7[/tex]

Substitute the given values into the formula

[tex]T_n = 5(0.7)^{n-1}\\T_n = 5(\frac{0.7^n}{0.7^1} )\\T_n = \frac{5}{0.7}\times 0.7^n \\T_n = 7.143(0.7^n)[/tex]

The nth tern=m required is [tex]T_n = 7.143(0.7^n)[/tex]

A contractor purchases ceramic tile to remodel a kitchen floor. Each tile cost $4 and the adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82. If the contractor pays a total of $545.82 how many ceramic tiles did the contractor purchase

Answers

Answer:

132 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tile cost $4

The adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82.

If the contractor pays a total of $545.82

Let the number of tiles be represented as x

The equation is represented as:

$17.82 + $4 × x = $545.82

17.82 + 4x = 545.82

Collect like terms

4x = 545.82 - 17.82

4x = 528

Divide bother sides by 4

4x/4 = 528/4

x = 132

The number of ceramic tiles the contractor bought = 132 tiles

An ant with a mass of 4 x 10-6 kg is carrying a bread crumb back to its anthill . The bread crumb has a mass of 8 x 10-5 kg. The mass of the bread crumb is how many times the mass of the ant?​

Answers

Answer:

Mass of bread crumb is 20 times the mass of the ant..

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of an ant = [tex]4\times 10^{-6}[/tex] kg

Ant carries a weight of bread crumb to its anthill.

Mass of the bread crumb = [tex]8\times 10^{-5}[/tex] kg

Ratio of their masses,

[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{4\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-5}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{1}{2\times 10^{(-5+6)}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\text{Mass of the ant}}{\text{Mass of bread crumb}}=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]

Mass of the bread crumb = 20×(Mass of the ant)

Therefore, mass of the bread crumb is 20 times the mass of the ant.

a water turck is filling a swiming pool. the euqation that represents this relationship is y = 19.75x where y is the number of gallons of water in the pool and x is the number of minutes the truck has been filling the pool choose true or false for each statement

Answers

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

y = 19.75x

let us see the solution from this angle

we know that

speed=distance/time

distance=speed*time

i.e quantity=rate*time

y = 19.75x

y=the quantity =number of gallons

19.5= the rate of flow

therefore

x= the time in  minutes

Find the y-intercept of the equation y = -0.5x - 3

Answers

Answer: -3

Step-by-step explanation: When you graph this that’s what you get

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

the y intercept is when x is 0 on the graph. Since you know x has to be zero, you can substitute x for 0 in the equation:

y = -0.5x0 -3

Now you can ignore that first part of the equation because it equates to 0, and so you get:

y= 0 - 3

which equals:

y=-3
