A sheet of notebook paper is approximately 0.003 in. thick. Tear the sheet in half so that there are two sheets. Repeat so that

there are four sheets. Repeat again so that there are 8 sheets. Continue in this fashion until the paper has been halved 50 times. If it were possible to complete the process, how high would the final pile be?

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.

Answer:

Answer is in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know exactly word from word what your choices look like...

but I can describe per each box what happened in my own words:

First box:  They multiply first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2 to obtain the equations in that first box.

Second box: They subtracted the two equations in the first box to obtain 1x+0y=2 which means 1x=2 or x=2 (this is called solving a system by elimination

Third box: They used their first original equation (before the multiplication manipulation) and plug in the value they got for x which was 2 giving them 3(2)-2y=10

Fourth box: They simplified the equation 3(2)-2y=10 by performing the multiplication 3(2) giving them 6-2y=10

Fifth box:  They subtracted 6 on both sides giving them -2y=4

Sixth box:  They divided both sides by -2 giving them y=-2

I will summarize then what I wrote above:

1st box: Multiplication Property of Equality

2nd box: Elimination

3rd box: Substitution (plug in)

4th box: Simplifying

5th box:  Subtraction Property of Equality

6th box: Division Property of Equality

Solve the inequality 8x-2>6
Leokris [45]

Answer:

x > 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x - 2 > 6 ( isolate the term in x by adding 2 to both sides )

8x > 8 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x > 1

Explain why a graph that fails the vertical-line test does not represent a function. Be sure to use the definition of function i
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The vertical line test can be used to determine whether a graph represents a function. If we can draw any vertical line that intersects a graph more than once, then the graph does not define a function because a function has only one output value for each input value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical line test can be used to determine whether a graph represents a function. If we can draw any vertical line that intersects a graph more than once, then the graph does not define a function because a function has only one output value for each input value.

I attached an Image you can visualize it clearly

P.S I ain't that good at drawing though :P
