Answer:

Tn = 64-4n

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an AP is expressed as:

Tn = a+(n-1)d

a is the common difference

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

Given the 6th term a6 = 40

T6 = a+(6-1)d

T6 = a+5d

40 = a+5d ... (1)

Given the 20th term a20 = -16

T20 = a+(20-1)d

T20 = a+19d

-16 = a+19d... (2)

Solving both equation simultaneously

40 = a+5d

-16 = a+19d

Subtracting both equation

40-(-16) = 5d-19d

56 = -14d

d = 56/-14

d = -4

Substituting d = -4 into equation

a+5d = 40

a+5(-4) = 40

a-20 = 40

a = 20+40

a = 60

Given a = 60, d = -4, to get the nth term of the sequence:

Tn = a+(n-1)d

Tn = 60+(n-1)(-4)

Tn = 60+(-4n+4)

Tn = 60-4n+4

Tn = 64-4n

Which statement about a dilation with a scale factor of 3 is true?
Valentin [98]

Given :   dilation with a scale factor of 3

To find :  Which statement is true

Solution:

A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size

if Dilation factor  N then image Size is multiplied  by  N

if Scale factor  < 1 then image get reduced

if scale factor > 1  then image get enlarged

scale factor = 1 lead to Same size image

Here is given that Scale factor of 3

=> image will be enlarged to 3 times the original image

Hence correct option is :

C)Each side in the pre-image is multiplied by three to find the corresponding side length in the image
