A pendulum swings to 90% of its previous height. Pendulum A starts at a height of 50 centimeters. Its height at each swing is modeled by the function [math]f(x) = 50(0.90)^x[/math]. The height after every fifth swing of Pendulum B is recorded in the following table. Compare the properties of each function over the interval [5, 15].
[list=1] [*]Compare the [math]y[/math]-intercepts of each function. [*]Compare the rate of change for each function over the interval [5, 15]. [*]Summarize your findings.
