4 When a ball bounces, the heights of consecutive bounces form a geometric sequence. The height of the first bounce is

121 centimeters and the height of the third bounce is

64 centimeters. To the nearest centimeter, what is the height of the

fifth bounce?

34 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric progression Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹ where a = first term, and r = common ratio.

Given that our first term, T₁ = ar¹⁻¹ = a = 121 cm and our third term T₃ = ar³⁻¹ = ar² = 64 cm

Then, T₃/T₁ = ar²/a = r²

r² = T₃/T₁

r² = 64 cm/121 cm

r = √64/121

r = 8/11

So, the height of our fifth bounce T₅ = ar⁵⁻¹

= ar⁴

= 121 cm × (8/11)⁴

= 121 × 4096/14641

= 4096/121 cm

= 33.9 cm

≅ 34 cm to the nearest cm
