Question

Suppose a ball is dropped from a height

of 6 meters and bounces to 90% of its
previous height after each bounce.
Using the formula h = 6(0.9)n, where n
represents the number of bounces and h
represents the maximum height of the
ball after the nth bounce, what is the
approximate maximum height of the
ball after the 12th bounce? (if necessary,
round to nearest tenth)

Answer 1

1.7

Step-by-step explanation

You just do 6 x 0.9 to the twelfth power.
