Steps:
18 x 2
What is that?
You can also think of it as 9 x 4 if that is easier
Then whatever you got for that, add 21 then subtract 12 and add 1
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 $9$.
104 Because 100*4 = 400 and 4*4 = 16 so add together and get 416
D because some of the inputs have the same output therefor it is not a function
Answer:
Divide StartFraction a Over 11 EndFraction by 11; the solution is 540.
