Aurora hit a baseball with an initial velocity of 70 feet per second at an angle of 30° with the horizontal. The ball hit her bat when the ball was 3 feet above the ground. (a) No one interferes with the ball. How long does it take the ball to hit the ground? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a second. Show all your work.

(b) How far did the ball travel horizontally? Use your answer from Part (a) in your calculations. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot. Show all your work.

I know to solve part a you need to use . I've gotten as far as , but I can't figure out what to do next since the only thing you can factor out is -1.

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt

answer: the actual answer is a. good bank will have the least amount in fees per year.
