What fractional part is black?

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.

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i. e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
