George is folding a piece of paper to make an origami figure. Each time he folds the paper, the thickness of the paper is doubled. The paper starts out flat, with a thickness of 1 millimeter. A. Write a list of six ordered pairs showing the output as the thickness of the paper when the input is the number of times it is folded. Explain how you came up with your ordered pairs. B. Is this relation a function? Explain why or why not using the ordered pairs you came up with in Part A.

Witchyprincess:

What grade is this?

deathscarewolf:

8th

Witchyprincess:

Oh Okay

SaltTheLoser:

Ok lol

SaltTheLoser:

So we start out with a flat paper and a thickness of 1 millimetre

SaltTheLoser:

with no folds as of yet the ordered pair would be (0,1)

SaltTheLoser:

But as the instructions say with each fold the thickness doubles

SaltTheLoser:

so the next fold would be (1,2)

SaltTheLoser:

And the one after is (2,4)

SaltTheLoser:

Basically, the 2nd digit of the pair is the doubled number of the last

SaltTheLoser:

Since i cant do all of this for you, come up with the rest of the pairs.

deathscarewolf:

alright thx for that help

SaltTheLoser:

Yw
