A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ratio. When you drop it from a height of k feet, it bounces and bounces endlessly. If the height of the bounce follows geometric progression, find the general term that represent the situation in term of k. [2 marks] Hence, if the ball dropped from a height of 235ft, determine i. the highest height achieved by the ball after six bounces ii. the total distance travelled by the ball when it strikes the ground for 12th time [2 marks] [3 marks b) The number of cell double after each process of cell division every 2 hours. If there are 120 bacteria initially, how many bacteria will be there after one and half day? [4 marks]​

Answers

Answer 1

The movement of the ping pong ball follows a exponential progression.

The expression for the k-th bounce is: [tex]\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}[/tex]The height after the 6th bounce is 41.82 ftThe total distance after the 12th bounce is 1584.84ft.There will be 31457280 bacteria after a day and a half.

1. Ping pong ball

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{a = 235}[/tex] --- the initial height

[tex]\mathbf{r = 75\%}[/tex] --- the common ratio

(a) The expression after bouncing k times

To do this, we make use of

[tex]\mathbf{T_n = a \times r^n}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{T_n = 235 \times (0.75)^n}[/tex]

In this case; k = n.

So, the equation becomes

[tex]\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}[/tex]

Hence, the expression for the k-th bounce is: [tex]\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}[/tex]

(b) The height after bouncing 6 times

This means that k = 6.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{T_6 = 235 \times (0.75)^6}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{T_6 = 41.82}[/tex]

Hence, the height after the 6th bounce is 41.82 ft

(c) The total distance after the 12th bounce

First, we calculate the total height after the 12th bounce using:

[tex]\mathbf{S_k = \frac{a(1 - r^k)}{1 - r}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{S_k = \frac{235 \times (1 - 0.75^{12})}{1 - 0.75}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{S_k = \frac{235 \times (0.968)}{0.25}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{S_k = 909.92}[/tex]

So, the total distance is:

[tex]\mathbf{Distance = 2 \times S_k - a}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Distance = 2 \times 909.92 - 235}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Distance = 1584.84}[/tex]

Hence, the total distance after the 12th bounce is 1584.84ft.

(2) Cell division

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{r = 2/2hr}[/tex] --- rate

[tex]\mathbf{a = 120}[/tex] --- initial number of cells

[tex]\mathbf{t = 18}[/tex] --- number of 2 hours is a day and a half

So, the number of bacteria is:

[tex]\mathbf{T_t = ar^t}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{T_t = 120 \times 2^{18}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{T_t = 31457280}[/tex]

Hence, there will be 31457280 bacteria after a day and a half.

Answer:

This polynomial is either a function like f(x), or it's just =0 and it's solved by a quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say it's equal to 0, we can easily divide the whole expression with 3, as obviously 3,24,48 have the same divisor(3), then we are left with:

x²-8x+16=0, then we apply the quadratic equation, and we got only 1 solution and that's x=4

If it is a function f(x), than it will have roots(root of a quadratic function is the x-coordinate where y=0, basically when the parabola intersects the x-axis(y=0), as we'll get that the only root is x=4

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table y 6 9 12 15 x 1 2 3 4​

Answers

Answer: y = 3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the linear function as following:

y = mx + b

m is the slope of the equation. b represents the y-intercept.

To find m, we divide the rate of change of y by the rate of change of x. We know that the rate of change y is +3 because we add three each time in order to find the next value. The rate of change of x is +1 because we add one each time to find the next value. So m would be:

m = 3/1

m = 3

Our linear equation is now as following:

y = 3x + b

In order to find b, we should first substitute a coordinate in the equation above.

y = 3x + b

6 = 3(1) + b

Then, we multiply 3 with 1

6 = 3 + b

Finally, we substract 3 on both sides. Now we've got our b value.

b = 3

Now our equation should look like this.

y = 3x + 3

To verify if the equation, we should substitute another coordinate, and verify if each side of the equation is equal.

y = 3x + 3

15 = 3(4) + 3

15 = 12 + 3

15 = 15

So we now know that the equation is indeed correct.

Answer:

y = 3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given table we have ordered pairs:

(1, 6), (2, 9), (3, 12), (4, 15)

Find the slope and y- intercept to work out the equation.

y = mx + b

The slope:

m = (9 - 6)/(2 - 1) = 3/1 = 3

The y -intercept:

6 = 3*1 + b6 = 3 + bb = 3

The equation is:

y = 3x + 3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number has has a terminating decimal expansion or a decimal expansion of non-terminating repeating digits. Here, the decimal expansion is terminating, so it is a rational number.

Answer:

C. 17.156

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction. So for example, since [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] cant be expressed as a fraction, it isn't rational. A number like 1.25 on the other hand IS rational as it can be expressed as [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{125}{100}[/tex].

Option C can be expressed as [tex]\frac{17156}{1000}[/tex], so it must be rational.

- Note that if a number has a finite amount of digits after the decimal (ie it doesn't go on forever like option B), it can be represented as a fraction and thus is rational.

Lets start with LHS , which is ,
