Frank has a sheet of paper which is 1/624 inch thick. If the sheet is folded in half, the total thickness will be 1/312 inch A s

econd fold will produce a total thickness of 1/156 inch. What will be the thickness of the sheet if Frank folds it 8 times?

Answer:

The thickness of the sheet will be 16/39 inch after folded 8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Frank has a sheet of paper of 1/624 inch thick

- The sheet is folded in half, the total thickness is 1/312 inch

- The sheet folded in half again and the total thickness is 1/156 inch

- We need to know the thickness of the sheet after folded 8 times

∵ The 1st thickness is 1/624 inches

∵ The 2nd thickness is 1/312 inch ⇒ after 1st fold

∵ The 3rd thickness is 1/156 inch⇒ after 2nd fold

∵ 1/312 ÷ 1/624 = 2

∵ 1/156 ÷ 1/312 = 2

∴ There is a common ratio 2 between each two fold

∴ The thicknesses of the sheet after each fold formed a

   geometric series

∵ Any term of the geometric series is a_{n}=a(r)^{n-1}, where

  a is the first term, r is the ratio between each two consecutive

  terms and n is the position of the term

∵ a = 1/312 because it is the thickness of the 1st fold

∵ r = 2 , n = 8

∴ a_{8}=\frac{1}{312}(2)^{8-1}=\frac{16}{39}

∴ The thickness of the sheet will be 16/39 inch after fold 8 times

In 2013 number of students in a small school is 284.it is estimated that student population will increase by 4 percent
BaLLatris [955]

The situation can be modeled by a geometric sequence with an initial term of 284. The student population will be 104% of the prior year, so the common ratio is 1.04.

Let \displaystyle PP be the student population and \displaystyle nn be the number of years after 2013. Using the explicit formula for a geometric sequence we get

{P}_{n} =284\cdot {1.04}^{n}P

n

=284⋅1.04

n

We can find the number of years since 2013 by subtracting.

\displaystyle 2020 - 2013=72020−2013=7

We are looking for the population after 7 years. We can substitute 7 for \displaystyle nn to estimate the population in 2020.

\displaystyle {P}_{7}=284\cdot {1.04}^{7}\approx 374P

7

=284⋅1.04

7

≈374

The student population will be about 374 in 2020.

Answer:

law of cosines states c^2=a^2+b^2-2abc

b^2=26^2+24^2-2(26×24)cos 134°

b^2=676+576-1248cos134°

cos134= -0.6946

b^2=1252-12(-0.6946)

12×(-0.6946)= -8.3352

b^2=1252-(-8.3352)

b^2=1252+8.3352

b^2=1260.33

b=√1260.33

b=35.50
