In his physics class, Mario discovered the height, h, in feet of a bouncing basketball after b bounces is given by the formula: h = 12 (2/3)^b What was the initial height of the ball?

Solution

for initial height the bounce would have been zero i.e. no bounce till then so,

h=12(2/3)^b

putting b=0

h=12feet
