$a_{n} = a_{1} + d(n - 1)$ a₁ is the first term, d is the difference, and n is the term

a₁ = -5

d = -5

$a_{n} = -5 - 5(n - 1)$

$a_{n} = -5 - 5n + 5$

$a_{n} = -5n$ explicit formula

$a_{n} = -5a_{n-1}$ recursive formula

What is the new volume of a right square pyramid with a volume 180in.3 if the lengths of the sides of the base remain fixed but

garik1379 [7]

The volume of a right square pyramid is $V= \frac{1}{3} A_{\text{ basis } }\cdot h$ , where $A_{\text{ basis } }$ is basis area.

If the lengths of the sides of the base remain fixed and height
is multiplied by a factor 10, than new height is $H=10h$ and the volume is

$V^{\ast}=A_{\text{ basis } }\cdot H=\frac{1}{3} A_{\text{ basis } }\cdot 10h=\frac{10}{3} A_{\text{ basis } }\cdot h$

Meg surveyed some students at her school about their favorite professional sports. Of the students surveyed, 2 said football was

elixir [45]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a total of ten students were asked, $\frac{2}{10}$ chose football and $\frac{8}{10}$ chose other sports. $\frac{2}{10}$ simplified is $\frac{1}{5}$ , so that's the experimental chance that the next student favors football.
