A ball is dropped from a height of 50 feet. The function f(x) = 50(0.6)x gives the height in feet of feet of each bounce, where x is the bounce number. What is the height of the third bounce to the nearest tenth of a foot?

The height of the third bounce is 10.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ A ball is dropped from a height of 50 feet

∵ The function f(x) = 50 gives the height in feet of each bounce

∵ x is the bounce number

∵ We need to find the height of the third bounce

∴ x = 3

→ Substitute x by 3 in the function above

∵ f(3) = 50(0.6)³

∴ f(3) = 50(0.126)

∴ f(3) = 10.8

∴ The height of the third bounce is 10.8 feet

step-by-step explanation:

divide 13.5 by 9 to get the scale factor. it equals 1.5

2 * 1.5 = 3
