RUDIKE [14]3 years ago

Answer:

-5n + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1. What is the difference?</u>

  The sequence goes down by 5. This means that the formula will have -5n in it.

<u>2. Work out the term before the first term.</u>

    The first term is 3, and we know that the sequence goes up by 5. So, to get the term before 3 we would add 5.

3 + 5 = 8   Remember, this is positive 8. (+8)

<u>3. Put that term at the end of the equation. </u>

   We have -5n already and we just worked out the term before the first one which is positive 8 - so put that at the end of the equation.

-5n + 8  This is our answer!

Just to prove it works:

<em>Substitute:   n = term</em>

Lets see if we can get the 3rd term which is -7. (n = 3)

-5(3) + 8

-15 + 8 = -7

See, it works!

5. If the dimensions of a rectangle are doubled, which of the following best describes an effect on the rectangle?​
Bond [772]

Answer:

Since length and width are perpendicular, Doubling either one will double the area. So Doubling both will quadruple the area. 2x2 = 4.

This idea works if the dimensions doubled are those that are used to compute area. Like the base and height of a triangle.

More generally, in a polygon, if all the sides are doubled, the area is multiplied by 4. In a circle, Doubling the radius will quadruple the area.

In 3 dimensions, Doubling one dimension will double the VOLUME. Doubling two perpendicular dimensions will quadruple the volume and Doubling 3 perpendicular dimensions will multiply the volume by 2x2x2 or 8.
