initial height = 25 ft
height after 1 bounce = 25(.9)
height after 2 bounces = 25(9)^2
height after 3 bounces = 25(.9)^3
height after 4 bounces = 25(.9)^4
..
height of ball after nth bounce = 25(.9)^n
height after 1 bounce = 25(.9)
height after 2 bounces = 25(9)^2
height after 3 bounces = 25(.9)^3
height after 4 bounces = 25(.9)^4
..
height of ball after nth bounce = 25(.9)^n
