The diagram shown below represents the path of a ball that is dropped from a height of 18 feet. On its first bounce, the ball rebounds to a height of 12 feet; on its second bounce, it rebounds to a height of 8 feet.
[[[a]]]Show that the ratio of the height of Bounce 1 to the starting height is equal to the ratio of the height of Bounce 2 to the height of Bounce 1. Show your work or explain how you obtained your answer.
[[[b]]]Create a table like the one shown below in your Student Answer Booklet.
Bounce, b Height, h
(in feet)
0 (Starting height) 18
1 12
2 8
3
4
5
If the pattern in the table continues, complete your table to show the height of bounces 3, 4, and 5.
[[[c]]]Based on the pattern shown in the table, if h is the height of a certain bounce, write an expression that represents the height of the next bounce in terms of h.
[[[D]]]Based on the pattern shown in the table, write an equation that represents the relationship between height,
