Answer:

d = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Generate the first few terms

a₁ = (2 × 1) - 4 = 2 - 4 = -2

a₂ = (2 × 2) - 4 = 4 - 4 = 0

a₃ = (2 × 3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2

a₄ = (2 × 4) - 4 = 8 - 4 = 4

d = 0 - (- 2) = 2 - 0 = 4 - 2 = 2

Answer:

Common difference = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for an arithmetic sequence is

 an = a1 + d(n-1) where d = the common difference. This can be rearranged to:

an = dn - d + a1

So comparing:

an =  2n - 4 with the above we see that d = 2.

For the first digit you are choosing from 2 digits
for the second digit you are choosing from 2 digits
for the third digit you are choosing from 2 digits
2*2*2=8
111
110
011
101
000
001
100
010
However......
A number doesn't usually start with a 0 or 0s.
Therefore, if you want 3-digit numbers and not just permutations using 0 and 1, then you must eliminate
011, 000, 001, and 010
Seeing that the first digit can't be 0, you choose from 1, then 2, and then 2 digits again; 1*2*2=4 numbers
You choose which answer best suits your problem.

Polygon D is a scaled copy of polygon C using a scale factors of 6
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: The area of the Polygon D is 36 times larger than the area of the Polygon C.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Polygon D is a scaled copy of Polygon C using a scale factor of 6. How many times larger is the area of Polygon D than the area Polygon C"?</h3>

 In order to solve this problem it is important to analize the information provided in the exercise.

You know that the Polygon D was obtained by multiplying the lengths of the Polygon C by the scale factor of 6.

Then, you can identify that the Length scale factor used is:

Length\ scale\ factor=k=6

Now you have to find the Area scale factor.

Knowing that the Length scale factos is 6, you can say that the Area scale factor is:

Area \ scale\ factor=k^2=6^2

Finally, evaluating, you get that this is:

Area \ scale\ factor=36

Therefore, knowing the Area scale factor, you can determine that the area of the Polygon D is 36 times larger than the area of the Polygon C.
