Racquetballs are sealed in a pressurized container to maintain the rebound percentage of the balls. A racquetball has a rebound percentage of 83% when it is taken out of the
pressurized can. Suppose a racquetball is dropped from a height of 3 meters onto a
racquetball court. Use the rebound rate given to predict the height of the ball after the
first 5 bounces

1.182 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the initial height is 3 meters, we know that after each rebound it recovers 83% of the original height, therefore:

First bounce:

3 * 0.83 = 2.49

Second bounce:

2.49 * 0.83 = 2.0667

We can deduce a formula here:

hn = 3 * (0.83) ^ n

where is the bounce number, we know that the bounce number that we want to find the height is 5, therefore:

h5 = 3 * (0.83) ^ 5

h5 = 1.182

which means that at the fifth bounce, the height is 1.182 meters.

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.

to determine the unit cost your would divide the total cost by the number sold.
