A bouncy ball is dropped such that the height of its first bounce is 5.25 feet and each successive bounce is 80% of the previous bounce's height. What would be the height of the 10th bounce of the ball? Round to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

Respuesta :

The height of the 10th bounce of the ball is 0.6 feet.

Exponential function

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.

Let y represent the height of the ball on the xth bounce.

From the question, a = 5.25 ft. and b = 80% = 0.8, hence:

y = 5.25(0.8)ˣ

For the 10th bounce:

y = 5.25(0.8)¹⁰ = 0.6 feet

The height of the 10th bounce of the ball is 0.6 feet.
