A ball starts initially at a height of 14 meters. With each bounce its new height is 30% less than that of the previous. 1) Write an exponential function to represent the height of the ball as a function of the number of bounces. 2) What is the b***s height on the 6th bounce?

If it loses 30% on each bounce, it still retains 70%.

H = 14 · 0.70n        (H = height; n = number of bounces)

Replace n with 6 and calculate the answer ...
