Constant of proportionality is the constant value of the two proportional quantities, in this problem p and s, where 4 is the factor of proportionality because it is constant or k.

In simple terms, p is in direct proportion to s wherein the increase or decrease in value of s results to the increase or decrease in value of p with 4 the only factor remaining unchanged.

In the above problem, the number 4 is derived from the word square. We all know that a square has 4 sides of equal lengths, therefore, the perimeter is equivalent to the product of 4 and its lenght.

maksim [4K]
We are given the arithmetic series 2, 1 3/5, 1 1/5.. In this case, the arithmetic difference is -2/5 by taking the difference of 2 and 1 3/5 and 1 3/5 and 1/5. The general formula of arithmetic sequence is an = a1 + d*(n-1). Substituting, an = 2 -2/5*(n-1). a25 hence is equal to a25 = 2-2/5*(25-1) = -38/5
