If the weight of the bottom box is b then the weight of a stack of four boxes is b + b/2 + b/4 + b/8
= 8b/8 + 4b/8 + 2b/8 + 1b/8
= 15/8 b
A stack must weigh less than 100 pounds
15/8 b < 100
b < 100 x 8/15 = 53 1/3 pounds
If boxes have a minimum weight of 1 pound then
for stacks that contain 4 boxes the range of b is [8, 53 1/3)
and if stacks contain 1 to 4 boxes the range of b is [1, 53 1/3)
If the only restriction is a maximum of 100 then the range of b is [0, 53 1/3)
75 ÷ 12.5 = 6
6 small jars = 1 large jar
Answer:
X is a variable and can represent any number that is unknown
Answer:
Exponential Decay
Step-by-step explanation:
It's exponential growth when your base value is > 1. Example:
1.3ˣ, 2ˣ, 7ˣ, 999ˣ
It's exponential decay when the base value is < 1. Example:
0.9ˣ, 0.45ˣ, (1/2)ˣ, 0.79ˣ, .999ˣ
It's neither when the base value = 1. Example:
1ˣ
