Folding a paper will make it thickness become double from it before.
Unfolded paper has 1 thickness
1 times folded paper has 2 thickness
2 times folded paper has 4 thickness
3 times folded paper has 8 thickness

From here it is clear that the pattern is $2^{n}$ . SInce the paper is 0.1mm, then the function would be:
f(n)= $2^{n}$ x 0.1mm

Enter an equation for the function that includes the points.Give your answer in a(b)x. In the event that a=1 , give your answer

Andrews [41]

Answer:

$f(x) = \frac{24}{25} * \frac{5}{6}^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,\frac{2}{3})$

$(x_2,y_2) = (3,\frac{5}{9})$

Required

Write the equation of the function $f(x) = ab^x$

Express the function as:

$y = ab^x$

In: $(x_1,y_1) = (2,\frac{2}{3})$

$y = ab^x$

$\frac{2}{3} = a * b^2$ --- (1)

In $(x_2,y_2) = (3,\frac{5}{9})$

$y = ab^x$

$\frac{5}{9} = a * b^3$ --- (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

$\frac{5}{9}/\frac{2}{3} = \frac{a*b^3}{a*b^2}$

$\frac{5}{9}/\frac{2}{3} = b$

$\frac{5}{9}*\frac{3}{2} = b$

$\frac{5}{3}*\frac{1}{2} = b$

$\frac{5}{6} = b$

$b = \frac{5}{6}$

Substitute 5/6 for b in (1)

$\frac{2}{3} = a * b^2$

$\frac{2}{3} = a * \frac{5}{6}^2$

$\frac{2}{3} = a * \frac{25}{36}$

$a = \frac{2}{3} * \frac{36}{25}$

$a = \frac{2}{1} * \frac{12}{25}$

$a = \frac{24}{25}$

The function: $f(x) = ab^x$

$f(x) = \frac{24}{25} * \frac{5}{6}^x$

Can you explain how you got the answer as well please?

Vikki [24]

Answer:

A. 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of movies that the critic rates that we are given is 20. Now they want to figure us to figure it out with 100 movies. 20 times 5 is one hundred. We are supposed to look at the 3 star reviews, which is 7 movies. 7 times 5 is 35. Hope this helps!

Fill in the missing coefficients in the expansion of the binomial (2x^2+y^2)^4

Helga [31]

The expansion of the binomial:
( 2 x² + y² ) ^4 =
$(2 x^{2} ) ^{4} + 4 * (2 x^{2} ) ^{3}* y^{2} + 6 * ( 2 x^{2} ) ^{2}*( y^{2}) ^{2} +4*2 x^{2} *( y^{2}) ^{3}+( y^{2}) ^{4}$ =
$=16 x^{8}+32 x^{6} y^{2}+24 x^{4} y^{4} + 8 x^{2} y^{6}+ y^{8}$
