Answer:

\mathbf{g^{-1} (t) = log _2  \ 20 \ t}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the full question

A standard piece of paper is 0.05 mm thick. Let's imagine taking a piece of paper and folding the paper in half multiple times. We'll assume we can make "perfect folds," where each fold makes the folded paper exactly twice as thick as before - and we can make as many folds as we want.

Write a function g that determines the thickness of the folded paper (in mm) in terms of the number folds made, n. (Notice that g(0) 0.05,)

g(n )= (05)2^n

The function g has an inverse. The function g⁻¹ determines the number of folds needed to give the folded paper a thickness of t mm. Write a function formula for g⁻¹).

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

If we represent g(n) with  t;

Then

\mathbf{t = (0.05)2^n} \\ \\ \mathbf{\dfrac{t}{0.05} = 2^n} \\ \\ \mathbf{\dfrac {100 \ t }{ 5} = 2^n} \\  \\ \mathbf{20 t = 2^n}

Taking logarithm of both sides; we have :

\mathbf{log (20 t) = n log 2}    \ \ \    \mathbf{(since  \ ,  log  \ a^b = b \ log \ a) }  \\ \\ \mathbf{n =  \dfrac{log \ 20 t }{log \ 2 }} \\ \\ \mathbf{g^{-1} (t) =  \dfrac{log \ 20 t }{log \ 2 }} \\ \\ \mathbf{g^{-1} (t) = log _2  \ 20 \ t}

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Part A: 100%
Part B: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between 10 and 5 is 5

5 is 100% of 5, so 10 is 100% greater than 5 (part A)

  • 5/5 = 1 = 100%

5 is 50% of 10, so 5 is 50% less than 10 (part B)

  • 5/10 = 1/2 = 50%

Part A is 100%, and Part B is 50%

Please help! Problem is attached
Darya [45]

Answer:

  (a)  -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of f(x) approaches 3cos(π) = -3 as x approaches π from either direction. The limit is -3.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The fact that the function is defined to have a different value at x=π simply means there is a jump discontinuity there. The function is <em>not continuous</em>, because the limit and the function value differ. That doesn't detract from the fact that there is a limit, and it is -3.
