HELP!!! You drop a ball from a height of 1.5 meters. Each curved path has 74% of the height of the previous path. a) write a rule for the sequence using cm. The initial height is given by the term n=1. b) what height will the ball bat at the top of the sixth path?
answers are:
a) A(n)= 150*(74)^n-1; 332,850,993,600cm
b) A(n)=1.5*(0.74)^n-1; 0.33cm
c) A(n)=150*(0.74)^n-1; 33.29cm
d) A(n)=0.74 * (1.5)^n-1; 5.62cm

Thanks. I appreciate any and all help.  I've been out of school for almost 30 years and I'm trying to relearn this.  It's way more difficult than I thought.
