2.Assume that the ball rebounds the same percentage on each bounce. Using the initial drop height and the height after the first bounce, find the common ratio, r.
Note: Round r to three decimal places. Use this formula:

r =
3.State the general version of the recursive formula. (1 point)
4.Find the recursive formula for the height of your ball. Remember that the 1st term, a1, is the height of the ball on the first bounce.(2 points)
5.Fill out the following table for your ball's height after the first 3 bounces. Note: Let n = bounce number. The height on the 1st bounce, n = 1, is given. (2 points:)

First bounce1Basketball: 54 inches
Tennis ball: 58 inches
Table-tennis ball: 26 cm
Second bounce2
Third bounce3
6.Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence of the height of the ball on the nth bounce. Use the formula an = a1 • rn – 1. Remember that the 1st term, a1, is the height of the ball on the first bounce. (2 points)
Solving the Problem
7.Using the explicit formula, find the height of the ball on the 10th bounce. (4 points: 2 points for showing your work, 2 points for the answer)
