Given information
Given a certain ball has the property that each time it falls from a height onto a hard, level surface, it rebounds to a height , where .
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Assume that the distance travelled by the ball after fall(s) and raise(s) is , hence we can calculate the distance, as follows
$
Since , we have , and we have a geometric series with , so we can find the sum by using the formula.
