Thea has a key on her calculator marked $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$. If an integer is displayed, pressing the $\textcolor

{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key chops off the first digit and moves it to the end. For example, if $6138$ is on the screen, then pressing the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key changes the display to $1386$. Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again. After all these steps, the calculator displays $243$. What number did Thea originally enter?

Answer:

$9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.

To find: number that Thea originally entered

Solution:

The final number is $243$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $243$ must be $324$.

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $18$ must be $81$

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.

Alex is building a rectangular fence around his yard. The total perimeter of the fence is 68 feet and the area of the yard is 24
pychu [463]

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w


68 = 2L + 2w


68 - 2L = 2w


2(34 - L) = 2(w)


34 - L = w


********************                                


Area (A) = L * w


     240 = L (34 - L)


     240 = 34L - L²


L² - 34L + 240 = 0


(L - 10)(L - 24) = 0


L = 10  or  L = 24


w = 34 - L   = 34 - 10   = 24      or      w = 34 - 24   = 10


Answer: width = 10, length = 24   assuming length is bigger than the width

Answer:

Sound can travel 12 miles per minute.

So we have 1 mile per 1/12 of a minute.

Let’s write the equation.

Speed of sound = 1 / 1/12

Multiply by the reciprocal.

1 * 12 = 12.
