Answer:

The building is 16 m tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

x/2 = 80/10

10x=160

10x/10 = 160/10

x=16

Answer:

this is a ratio question. The answer is 16 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The persons height to shadow length ratio is 2 : 10

We want to know what the height of the building is when the shadows length is 80.


Let H represent height:

Persons ratio:

2 : 10

Buildings ratio:

H : 80


In other words for every 2 meters height a 10 m shadow is casted so we want to know how many of this ratio can fit into the building:

Let’s find the equivalent ratio:


80/10=8

That means 8 of the persons ratio makes up the building. Let’s find the height of building by 2*8=16.


therefore the building is 16m tall.

Start with the basic function f(x)=2x. If you have an initial value of 1, then you end up with the following iterations. f(1)=2*
denpristay [2]
<span>f(x)=2x

f(1)=2*1=2

f^2(1)=2*2*1=4

f^3(1) =2*2*2*1=8

1. If you continue this pattern, what do you expect would happen to the numbers as the number of iterations grows?

I expect the numbers continue growing multiplying each time by 2.

Check your result by conducting at least 10 iterations.

f^4(1) = f^3(1) * f(1) = 8*2 = 16

f^(5)(1) = f^4(1) * f(1) = 16 * 2 = 32

f^6 (1) = f^5 (1) * f(1) = 32 * 2 = 64

f^7 (1) = f^6 (1) * f(1) = 64 * 2 = 128

f^8 (1) = f^7 (1) * f(1) = 128 * 2 = 256

f^9 (1) = f^8 (1) * f(1) = 256 * 2 = 512

f^10 (1) = f^9 (1) * f(1) = 512 * 2 = 1024

2. Repeat the process with an initial value of −1. What happens as the number of iterations grows?

f(-1) = 2(-1) = - 2

f^2 (-1) = f(-1) * f(-1) = - 2 * - 2 = 4

f^3 (-1) = f^2 (-1) * f(-1) = 4 * (-2) = - 8

f^4 (-1) = f^3 (-1) * f(-1) = - 8 * (-2) = 16

f^5 (-1) = f^4 (-1) * f(-1) = 16 * (-2) = - 32

As you see the magnitude of the number increases, being multiplied by 2 each time, and the sign is aleternated, negative positive negative positive ...

Bridget reads 5 pages of her book per day 4 days per week for several weeks.
Likurg_2 [28]
The correct answer would be (4*5)w because you would multiple the number of pages that she reads per week then you multiply that by how many weeks she reads.
