When a rubber ball is dropped it bounces back up to a height 3/4
as high as its previous height. You drop this ball from a height of 16 feet and measure its height after each bounce.



Which formula represents a geometric sequence that describes the height of the ball after 7 bounces?

a7= 16(3/4)^7−1

a7= 16(3/4)^7−1


a7=34(16)7−1

A sub 7 is equal to 3 fourths times 16 raised to the 7 minus 1 power

a7=16+(3/4)^7−1

A sub 7 is equal to 16 plus 3 fourths raised to the 7 minus 1 power

a7=(7−1)(3/4)(16)

Heights after each bounce form: 16*(3/4), 16*(3/4)^2, … so after 7 bounces the height is

a7 = 16*(3/4)^7.

(Select option a — the first choice.)
