- A ball has a bounce-back ratio 35 . of the height of the previous bounce. Write a series representing the total distance traveled by the ball, assuming it was initially dropped from a height of 5 feet. What is the total distance? (Hint: the total distance the ball travels on each bounce is the sum of the heights of the rise and the fall.)arrow_forwardDetermine whether the sum of the infinite series is defined. 13+12+34+98+...arrow_forward
