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}

X-1.6=2.4+0.8x solve for x. <br><br>What did I do wrong?
trapecia [35]

\bf x-1.6=2.4+0.8x\implies \stackrel{\textit{subtracting 2.4}}{x-4=0.8x}\implies \stackrel{\textit{subtracting x}}{-4=0.8x-x} \\\\\\ -4=-0.2x\implies \cfrac{-4}{-0.2}=x\implies 20=x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

take x degree as reference angle

using tan rule

tan x=opposite/adjacent

tan x=6.1/5.1

tan x=1.19

x=tan^{-1}1.19

x=49.95

x=50 degree
