The first term is 2 meters, which is 200 cm. Geometric Sequences ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 8-6 Suppose you drop a tennis ball from a height of 2 meters. On each bounce, the ball reaches a height that is 75% of its previous height. Write a rule for the height the ball reaches on each bounce. In centimeters, what height will the ball reach on its third bounce? The first term is 2 meters, which is 200 cm. Draw a diagram to help understand the problem. 8-6

A rule for the sequence is A(n) = 200 • 0.75n – 1. Geometric Sequences ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 8-6 (continued) The ball drops from an initial height, for which there is no bounce. The initial height is 200 cm, when n = 1. The third bounce is n = 4. The common ratio is 75%, or 0.75. A rule for the sequence is A(n) = 200 • 0.75n – 1. A(n) = 200 • 0.75n – 1 Use the sequence to find the height of the third bounce. A(4) = 200 • 0.754 – 1 Substitute 4 for n to find the height of the third bounce. = 200 • 0.753 Simplify exponents. = 200 • 0.421875 Evaluate powers. = 84.375 Simplify.
