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 $9$.

lawyer [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Well You can tell right away its a positive line since its rising from left to right so the answer has to be positive

If the slope were to be 4 the line would be a Little more titleted becuasea slope of 4 is going up 4 and going tot he right 1.

ANd you can’t heck from any given point and just try all the positivw possibilties.

Or you can just use rise over run, start form a point, rise which means go up until you reach the second layer of the line and just run (go To The right) until you hit a point.

You’ll get 1/4
