The area ratio is 1:16 meaning that the old area is 1 while the new area is 16. So this is another way of saying "the area is multiplied by 16"
Take the square root of each part of the ratio of 1:16 and we get 1:4
So this is the scale factor. It tells us how the linear components of the circles relate to one another. If the circumference of the smaller circle is 1,then the larger circle has a circumference of 4.
Therefore, the circumference has been multiplied by 4
A1 represents the first term
d represents the common difference.....and since the common difference is 3, u have to add 3 to each term to find the next term....because with an arithmetic sequence u add to find the next term, whereas, in a geometric sequence u multiply to find the next term
5...first term
5 + 3 = 8...2nd term
8 + 3 = 11...3rd term
11 + 3 = 14...4th term
ur answer is B

Finding the Number
To find the number, we have to translate the problem above to an algebraic equation. The algebraic equation refers to the statement of the equality of two algebraic expressions.
Equation:
Let "x" be the number.
4 is divided by a number - 4/x
3 divided by the number decreased by 2 - 3/x-2
"4 is divided by a number is equal to 3 divided by the number decreased by 2"
4/x = 3/x-2
Solution:
Cross multiply.
4/x = 3/x-2
x(3) = 4(x-2)
3x = 4x - 8
(Combine similar terms.)
3x - 4x = - 8
- x = - 8
- x/- 1 = - 8/- 1
x = 8
Final Answer:
8
Checking:
4/x = 3/x-2
4/8 = 3/8-2
1/2 = 3/6
1/2 = 1/2 ✔
