Equation: y = 4.04·0.56^x

(1) What does 4.04 mean?

Solution: Here in the exponential model, the height is 4.04 feet when the bounce number is 0. It represents the initial height. (original, starting value)

(2) What does 0.56 mean?

Solution: 0.56 represents the represents the growth rate of how much the height will decrease with the amount of bounces. (growth factor)

Extra's :

x represents the unit of measure of bounces.

General equation

  • y=ab^x

#1

Here

  • a is 4.04
  • So it represents the initial value where x is 0 as any number⁰ is 1

#2

  • 0.56 is b
  • it's the rate of change with respect to x
