Solution

Without a visual representation of the curves, it's impossible to accurately answer this question. However, I can describe what the correct curve would look like.

The curve depicting the motion of a bouncing ball would start at the highest point, then drop down to the floor level (this represents the ball being dropped). The curve would then rise back up, but not as high as the original starting point (this represents the ball bouncing back up but not reaching the original height). This pattern would repeat, with each bounce reaching a lower height than the previous one, forming a series of peaks that decrease in height over time.

A ball is dropped from a height of 50 inches. The height of the ball after each bounce is half the height the ball reached on the previous bounce.

If it is exponential, write it in the form h(x)=a(b)x.
