    SABS RIDES AND LIFE
    1) Archie and Althea experimented with the physics of a bouncing ball. The ball's first bounce was 12 feet and its second bounce was 6 feet. 2) They determined the common ratio (r) of the geometric sequence describing the ball's decreasing bounce heights is 0.5. 3) Using the geometric sequence formula, they calculated the height of each subsequent bounce through the 6th bounce, with the heights decreasing by half each time to a total sum of 23.625 feet.

    Definition:
    In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of
    numbers. After the first term, each term is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-
    one number called the common ratio.
    Situation:
    Archie and Althea is experimenting with the physics of a bouncing ball. Archie drops the ball.
    The ball’s first bounce’s height is 12 feet, the next time it bounces, its highest bounce is 6 feet.
    Find the remaining height of its bounce until its 6th bounce.
    Table 1: Height of the ball every bounce
    1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
    bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce
    Height of
    the ball
    every 12 6
    bounce
    (ft.)

    Solution:
    a2
    First we need to find the common ratio by using the formula r =
    a1
    6
    r=
    12
    1
    r = ∨0.5
    2
    If r= 0.5, then the common difference is 0.5
    Now that we that we found our common ration, we can now find the remaining height of its
    bounce until its 6th bounce by using the formula a n=a1 r n−1

    If r=0.5 and a2=6, what is the value of a3?


    a. a3= a1(rn-1)
    a3= 12 (0.5)3-1
    a3= 12 (0.5)2
    a3= 12 (0.25)
    a3= 3
    1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
    bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce
    Height of
    the ball
    every 12 6 3
    bounce
    (ft.)
    If a3= 3, then the height of the ball on the 3rd bounce is 3ft.
    If r=0.5 and a3=3, what is the value of a4?
    b. a4= a1(rn-1)
    a4= 12 (0.5)4-1
    a4= 12 (0.5)3
    a4= 12 (0.125)
    a4= 1.5
    1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
    bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce
    Height of
    the ball
    every 12 6 3 1.5
    bounce
    (ft.)
    If a4= 1.5, then the height of the ball on the 4th bounce is 1.5ft.
    If r=0.5 and a4=1.5, what is the value of a5?
    c. a5= a1 (rn-1)
    a5= 12 (0.5)5-1
    a5= 12 (0.5)4
    a5= 12 (0.0625)
    a5= 0.75
    1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
    bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce
    Height of
    the ball
    every 12 6 3 1.5 0.75
    bounce
    (ft.)
    If a5= 0.75, then the height of the ball on the 5th bounce is 0.75ft.
    If r=0.5 and a5=0.75, what is the value of a6?
    d. a6= a1 (rn-1)
    a6= 12 (0.5)6-1
    a6= 12 (0.5)5
    a6= 12 (0.03125)
    a6= 0.375
    1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
    bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce
    Height of
    the ball
    every 12 6 3 1.5 0.75 0.375
    bounce
    (ft.)
    If a6= 0.375, then the height of the ball on the 6th bounce is 0.375ft.
    Now that we completed the table, we can now solve for the sum of a geometric sequence by
    a 1( 1−r n )
    using the formula Sn=
    1−r

    a 1 ( 1−r n )
    Sn =
    1−r
    12(1−0.56 )
    Sn=
    1−0.5
    12 ( 0.984375 )
    Sn=
    0.5
    11.8125
    Sn=
    0.5
    Sn=23.625

    If Sn= 23.625, then the sum of height of the ball every bounce is 23.625ft.
