Answer:

3.3776997 x 10¹² inches high

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of sheets obtained after each tear (N) is described by an exponential relationship, where 'n' is the number of tears:

N=2^n

For n = 50:

N=2^{50}\\N=1.1258999*10^{15}

If each sheet is 0.003 in thick, the stack would have a height of:

h = 1.1258999*10^{15}*0.003\\h= 3.3776997*10^{12}\ in

The final pile would be 3.3776997 x 10¹² inches high.

Solve each system by elimination. substitution by multiplication
umka2103 [35]
M = 135/19 and n = -5/19

You have to give them like terms so that when you eliminate they cancel out and you can solve. The easiest way to do so is by multiplying the top equation by -4 and the bottom by 3.

How long does it take for a deposit of $900 to double at 2% compounded continuously?
nydimaria [60]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 34.6574 years
  • 34 years, 239.94 days

Step-by-step explanation:

For continuous compounding the "rule of 69" applies. That is the doubling time can be found from ...

  t = 69.3147/r . . . . where r is the interest rate in percent.

Here, r=2, so ...

  t = 69.3147/2 = 34.6574 . . . years

That's 34 years and 240 days.
