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}

Which list of angle measures could be the angle measures of a triangle?
Dovator [93]
Hello there! So the answer would be D: 35 degrees, 60 degrees and 85 degrees. We know this because angles in a triangle sum to 180 degrees. By simply adding each angle up, we can confirm that 35 + 60 + 85 = 180. :)
