Answer:

E. 285

Step-by-step explanation:

The display forms a pyramid with each layer having a square based with one fewer row and one fewer column than the previous layer.

Since the first layer has 81 boxes, it is a 9x9 square. The next layer is an 8x8 square, followed by a 7x7 and so on.

Therefore, the total number of boxes is:

N = (9*9)+(8*8)+(7*7)+(6*6)+(5*5)+(4*4) +(3*3)+(2*2) +1\\N=81 + 64+49+36+25+9+4+1\\N=285

There are 285 boxes in display.

What is the pattern in the values as the exponents increase? Powers of 2 Value 2 Superscript negative 5 StartFraction 1 Over 32
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

(D)Multiply the previous value by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

\left|\begin{array}{c|c}$Powers of 2&Value\\2^{-5}&\frac{1}{32}\\\\2^{-4}&\frac{1}{16}\\\\2^{-3}&\frac{1}{8}\\\\2^{-2}&\frac{1}{4}\\\\ 2^{-1}&\frac{1}{2}\\\\2^{0}&1\end{array}\right|

From the given table, we observe that the negative power of 2 reduces by 1 at each step.

2^{-5}X2=2^{-4}\\2^{-4}X2=2^{-3}\\2^{-3}X2=2^{-2}

Therefore, as the exponents increase, we multiply the previous value by 2 to obtain the next value.

The correct option is D.

How many constants can a polynomial have? Explain your answer
Katyanochek1 [597]
A polynomial can only have one constant, since the constant is the one number being added or subtracted from the rest of the polynomial, and it is the only number that is not being multiplied by an x value.

A cereal box has a surface area of 280 square inches. What is the surface are of a similar box that is larger by a scale factor
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: 548.8 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a cereal box has a surface area of 280 square inches.

The surface area of a similar box that is larger by a scale factor of 1.4 will be gotten by multiplying 280 by the scale factor's square. This will be:

= 280 × (1.4)²

= 280 × 1.96

= 548.8 square inches
