You drop a ball from a height of 1.5 meters. Each curved path has 71% of the height is the previous path. a. write a rule for the sequence using centimeters. The initial height is given by term n=1

b. what height will the ball be at the top of the sixth path

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

a. write a rule for the sequence using centimeters. The initial height is given by term n = 1


For this case we have a sequence of the form:

Where

a0: initial height

r: rate of change

n: number of paths

On the other hand we have the following conversion:

1 meter = 100 centimeters

Therefore we have:

Thus, the general rule for the sequence in centimeters is:

Answer:

a rule for the sequence using centimeters is:


b. what height will the ball be at the top of the sixth path


For this case, we substitute the value of n = 6 in the equation obtained in part a.

We have then:

Answer:

the height of the ball will be 27.06 at the top of the sixth path

Answer 2
Answer: The general form for a geometric series is:
an = a1 r^(n-1)

with a1 as 1.5
and r = 0.71

So,
a.
The rule for sequence is:
an = 1.5 (0.71)^(n - 1)

b.
After the sixth path, the height of the ball at the top is
a6 = 1.5 (0.71)^(6 - 1)
a6 = 0.27 m

Identify the equation of a line in slope- intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -1/3 x + 2 and passes through (2, 1) Show your work PLEASE!!

Answers

Answer: y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

c = intercept

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The equation of the given line is

y = -1/3x + 2

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 1/3

If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through

(2, 1) is 3/1 = 3

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 3, x = 2 and y = 1 into y = mx + c. It becomes

1 = 3 × 2 + c = 6 + c

c = 1 - 6 = - 5

The equation becomes

y = 3x - 5

How do I write a slope intercept form of an equation of a line through given points ?

Answers

you find the slope of the equation using y2-y1/x2-x1 and then you find the y intercept which is the point that crosses the y axis. Then you put that information into the slope intercept equation (y=mx+b   m=slope b=y intercept)


at least i think thats what you are asking

First you need the slope, which is easily attainable by the change of x over the change of y

ex. with coordinates (x,y)(X,Y)

m=slope
m=( rise)/(run)
   =(  change x)/( change of y)
   = (X-x)/(Y-y)

Then you will have every thing except the y intercept
 (represented by b)

Using the slope-intercept form 
and x and y being represented by the x, y values of a co-ordinate

y=mx+b
We can derive b

b= y-mx

Then when we have both m and b
Insert them into the form

ex. if m=-4, b=6

y=-4x+6

Taa daa!

4 + 6x + 5 = 7x Could someone help me? Thanks :) And could you also show how u did it

Answers

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms

4+6x+5=7x

4+5=9

9+6x=7x

to get 6x with 7x subtract 6x from both sides as its positive

6x-6x=0

7x-6x=x

9=x

x=9

Charlie is at a small airfield watching for the approach of a small plane with engine trouble. He sees the plane at an angle of elevation of 32. At the same time, the pilot radios Charlie and reports the plane’s altitude is 1,700 feet. Charlie’s eyes are 5.2 feet from the ground.

Answers

X would be the ground distance from Charlie to the plane 
tan 32° = (1700-5.2) / x    
which would give you 
x = 2712.25 ft
