    A ball is thrown up 90 feet in the air. it comes down, bounces, and then rises up to a height of 81 feet. Then it falls to its second bounce, and so on. Each time it falls, it bounces back to 90% of its previous height. (a) How high does the ball rise before the 30th bounce? (Please read the question carefully. If the question read “How high does the ball rise before the second bounce?” the answer would...
