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.

Help ASAP!!<br>Using the graphed function above, find the following
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Maximum: 1, Minimum: -3, Midline y = -1, Amplitude = 4, Period = \pi, Frequency \displaystyle =\frac{1}{\pi},  equation : f(x)=-4cos(2x)+1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Sinusoid Functions</u>

It refers to the oscillating functions like the sine or cosine which range from a minimum and maximum value periodically.

The graph shown can give us all the information we need to answer these questions:

Maximum: 1

Minimum: -3

The midline goes through the center value (mean) of the max and min values, i.e.

Equation of the midline:

\displaystyle y=\frac{1-3}{2}=-1

Amplitude is the difference between the maximum and minimum values

A=1-(-3)=4

The period is the time it takes to complete a cycle. We can see the minimum value is first reached at x=0 and next at x=\pi

Thus the period is

T=\pi

The frequency is the reciprocal of the period:

\displaystyle f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{\pi}

The angular frequency is

\displaystyle w=2\pi f=\frac{2\pi }{\pi}=2

The equation of the function is a negative cosine (since it starts at the minimum) or a shifted sine or cosine. We'll choose the negative cosine, knowing all the parameters:

f(x)=-4cos(2x)+1

I need this immediately!! Put the equation in standard form with a positive X coefficient. Y + 6 = 3/2 ( x - 4 ) HELP!! ​
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

given

y + 6 = \frac{3}{2}(x - 4)

Multiply through by 2 to eliminate the fraction

2y + 12 = 3(x - 4) ← distribute

2y + 12 = 3x - 12 ( subtract 2y from both sides )

12 = 3x - 2y - 12 ( add 12 to both sides )

24 = 3x - 2y, that is

3x - 2y = 24 ← in standard form

A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. The
Delvig [45]

10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total boxes shipped = 21

Total volume of shipped boxes = 342 cubic feet

Volume of each small box = 10 cubic feet

Volume of each large box = 22 cubic feet

Let,

Number of small boxes = x

Number of large boxes = y

According to given statement;

x+y=21     Eqn 1

10x+22y=342    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

10(x+y=21)\\10x+10y=210\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(10x+22y)-(10x+10y)=342-210\\10x+22y-10x-10y=132\\12y=132

Dividing both sides by 12

\frac{12y}{12}=\frac{132}{12}\\y=11

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

x+11=21\\x=21-11\\x=10

10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.

If θ is an acute angle and sin θ = 2 1 , then cos θ =
ss7ja [257]
First of all i think theres a mistakein the question;
i think it is sin θ = \frac{1}{2}

and then sin 30° = \frac{1}{2}

thus θ= 30°\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}
