Explanation Given information: A freely falling body will fall about 16 feet in the first second, 48 feet in the next second, 80 feet in the third second, 112 feet in the 4 t h second. It is given that, A freely falling body will fall about 16 feet in the first second, 48 feet in the next second, 80 feet in the third second, 112 feet in the 4 t h second. d 1 = 16 d 2 = 48 d 3 = 80 d 4 = 112 From above it is clear that distance increases by 32 feet in every second To determine (b) The distance travelled by free falling body after n seconds if a freely falling body will fall about 16 feet in the first second, 48 feet in the next second, 80 feet in the third second, 112 feet in the 4 t h second.

Percentage

A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.

Algebraic Expressions

In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.

Numbers

Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.

Subtraction

Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
