Answer:

5.8 , which approximately is 6 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

the first method is the short one since u just have to double the 85 then divide to 1000.

1000 ÷ ( 85 × 2)

1000 ÷ 170 = 5.882,,,,,. round off to whole number to get 6.

the second method is the addition method.

we start by 85 then keep doubling 85 for every week........inshort.......we add 170 to each weeks number to get the number of followers for the following week.

85 ⇒ 170 ⇒ 340 ⇒ 510 ⇒ 680 ⇒ 850 ⇒ 1020.

     1st      2nd      3rd     4th      5th         6th     week.

u notice that we add (85×2), 170, to get the following week's number of followers..

in 5 weeks..... the number of followers is yet to get to 1000.

when u divide, u get 5.8.....,and it is not logic to say 5.8823....weeks

since she reaches 1000 followers in the 6th week.......though there is an addition,,,, it is the most appropriate answer.

James folds a piece of paper in half several times,each time unfolding the paper to count how many equal parts he sees. After fo
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

There will be total 2048 parts of the given paper if James if able to fold the paper eleven times.

The needed function is y = 2 ^n

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the piece of paper James decides to fold is a SQUARE.

Now, let us assume:

n : the number of times the paper is folded.

y : The number of parts obtained after folds.

Now, if the paper if folded ONCE ⇒  n = 1

Also, when the pap er is folded once, the parts obtained are TWO equal parts.

⇒  for n = 1 , y = 2       ..... (1)

Similarly, if the paper if folded TWICE  ⇒  n = 2

Also, when the paper is folded twice, the parts obtained are FOUR equal parts.

⇒  for n = 2 , y = 4       ..... (2)

⇒y  = 2^2  =  2^n

Continuing the same way, if the paper is folded SEVEN times  ⇒  n = 7

So, y = 2^ n = 2^7 = 128

⇒  There are total 128 equal parts.

Lastly,  if the paper is folded ELEVEN  times  ⇒  n = 11

So, y = 2^ n = 2^{11} = 2048

⇒  There are total 2048 equal parts.

Hence, there will be total 2048 parts of the given paper if James if able to fold the paper eleven times.

And the needed function is y = 2 ^n

500g of an item costs $12. Use the unitary method to find the equivalent cost of 320g.
zepelin [54]
A) 500g=$12 -> 100g=12:5 100g=$2,40
20g=2,40:5=$0,58
320g=3x2,40+0,58
320g=7,20+0,58
320g=7,78$

The length of a rectangle is 3cm more than the width. The area is 70cm^2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle​
Rom4ik [11]
Let width be x
Length would be x + 3
Area = L * W
Make an equation
(x) * (x+3) = 70
x^2 + 3x = 70
x^2 + 3x - 70 = 0
Quadratic formula
(-3 +/- rt 3^2 - 4 * 1 * (-70))/(2 * 1)
x1 = (-3 + 17)/2, x2 = (-3-17)/2
x = 7, x = -10
Dimension cannot be negative

Solution: width = 7
Length = 10

Which of the following pairs of functions are inverse of each other ?
pshichka [43]
One way is to solve for the invers of the first function
remembe, to solve, replace f(x) or g(x) with y, switch x and y, solve for y and replace it with f⁻¹(x)

A.
f(x)=x/2+8
y=x/2+8
x=y/2+8
x-8=y/2
2x-16=y
f⁻¹(x)=2x-16
nope, not A


B.
f(x)=3x³+16
y=3x³+16
x=3y³+16
x-16=3y³
(x-16)/3=y³
∛((x-16)/3)=y
f⁻¹(x)=∛((x-16)/3)
nope, not the same
not B

C.
f(x)=18/x-9
y=18/x-9
x=18/y-9
x+9=18/y
y(x+9)=18
y=18/(x+9)
f⁻¹(x)=18/(x+9)
correct, the answer is C



answer is C
