A bouncy ball is dropped such that the height of its first bounce is 2.75 feet and each

successive bounce is 69% of the previous bounce's height. Write a recursive formula
to represent the height of the nth bounce of the ball.

The value 2.75 goes in the first box, since it's the first term.

The expression
0.69*a_(n-1) goes in the second box. The second line says "to get the nth term, we multiply the previous term by 0.69"
