Suppose you drop a ball from a height of 10 feet. After the ball hits the floor, it rebounds to a height defined by the recursive formula an = 0.85an – 1. What is a1?

Respuesta :

Answer:

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the ball after it hits the floor and rebound is defined by the recursive formula:

[tex]a_n = 0.85a_{n-1}[/tex]

This is an example of a geometric sequence in which the next term is gotten by multiplication of the previous term by 0.85.

If the ball is dropped from a height of 10 feet, the first term is 10.

Its Initial height, [tex]a_1=10 \:feet[/tex]
