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.

14) The ratio of green to red gummy bears in a package is 3:7. If there are a total of 80
gummy bears in the package, how many gummy bears are red?

Answers

Answer:

There are 56 red gummy bears

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of green to red gummy bears is = 3 : 7

Total gummy bears = 80

We need to find how many gummy bears are red?

We can write it as:

3x : 7x

where x is the common ratio.

We can write:

Quantity of Green gummy bears = 3x

Quantity of Red gummy bears = 7x

Total Gummy bears = 80

So, 3x+7x = 80

10x = 80

x = 8

Now, finding quantity of Red gummy bears by putting x = 8

7x = 7(8) = 56

So, There are 56 red gummy bears

Find the measure of each angle in the problem: complementary angles with measures 4x and 5x-18 degrees

Answers

Answer:

42 degrees and 48 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If they are complementary, that means they add up to 90 degrees, so

4x + 5x - 18 = 90,

Solving,

9x - 18 = 90

add 18 to both sides

9x = 108

divide both sides by 9

x = 12

Now, to find the angle measures of each you have to substitute x = 12 into both angles.

4x --> 4 * 12 = 48 degrees

5x - 18 --> 5 * 12 - 18 --> 60 - 18 --> 42 degrees

Find the measure of angle B

Answers

Answer:

119

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]due \: to \: Corresponding \: angles \\ (5x - 4) + (9x + 2) = 180 \\ 14x = 182 \\ x = 13 \\ \\ 9.13 + 2 = b \\ b = 119[/tex]

Answer:

In the given figure, we know that (angle B+angle C)=180°.

[tex](9x + 2) + (5x - 4) = 180 \\ 14x - 2 = 180 \\ 14x = 182 \\ \boxed{x = 13}[/tex]

Angle B = (9x+2) = (9×13+2) = (117+2) = 119°.

Similar Triangles

If two triangles are similar, then:

* All the corresponding side lengths are proportional by the same scale factor

* All the internal angles are congruent.

The image provided in the question has two similar triangles TYZ and TWX. We have completed the shape with a variable p =TZ, whose value will be determined by applying the first similarity condition above.

The ratio between the heights is 20:16, and the proportion between the bases is (6+p):p, thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{6+p}{p}=\frac{20}{16}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Cross-multiplying denominators:

4(6 + p) = 5p

24 + 4p = 5p

Solving for p:

p = 24

Then, TZ = 24

d.4(5+16)​

Answers

Answer:

D. 4 (5 + 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

20 + 64 = 84

To solve this problem we have to simplify each of the expressions in the answer column:

A. = 80

(16 + 60 = 76) giving us

4 + 76 = 80

B. = 25

(5 + 16 = 21)

4 + 21 = 25

C. = 80

(16 + 60 = 76)

4 + 76 = 80

D. = 84

(5 + 16 = 21)

4 x 21 = 84

So The correct option is D. 4 (5 + 16)
