7. You drop a ball from a height of 0.5 meter. Each curved path has 52% of the height of the previous path. A. Write a rule for the sequence using centimeters. The initial height is given by the term n = 1. B. What height will the ball be at the top of the third path?

Respuesta :

Answer:

This is a geometric sequence.  The first term is the max height of the first curved path, which is 0.5.  The second one is 52% of that meaning that it is 0.52 times the first term.  The third term is 0.52 times the second term. Thus, in this geometric sequence,

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 0.5

r = 0.52

You will need to use the relation  a_n = a \cdot r^{n-1}
