Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Bouncing Balls A ball is dropped from a height of 30 feet.
Each time it strikes the ground, it
bounces up to 0.8 of the
previous height.
(a) What height will the
ball bounce up to
after it strikes the
ground for the third
time?(b) How high will it bounce after it strikes the ground for
the nth time?
(c) How many times does the ball need to strike the ground
before its bounce is less than 6 inches?
(d) What total vertical distance does the ball travel before it
stops bouncing?
