How does scale factor change the area?

Mathematics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: in summary, a scale factor is simply a number that multiplies the dimensions of a shape. ... If the scale factor is three, then the perimeter of the new object will be three times the original perimeter. The area of a scaled object will be equal to the scale factor squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if you had a triangle with a base measuring 6 units, and a height measuring 3 units, the area would be 9 square units. If we scale it by 1/3, the triangle's base is 2 units, the height is 1 unit, and the area is 1 square unit. The dimensions were scaled by 1/3, but the area was scaled by 1/9 (1/3 * 1/3).

Which recursive formula can be used to generate the sequence shown, where f(1) = 5 and n > 1?
saveliy_v [14]

You can try them out and see which one works.

a: f(2) = f(1) +6 = 5+6 = 11 . . . . . . not this one

b: f(1) = f(2) -6 = -1-6 = -7 . . . . . . not this one (5 ≠ -7)

c: f(2) = f(1) - 6 = 5 - 6 = -1 . . . . . this gives the right f(2)

d: f(2 = -6(f(1) = -6(5) = -30 . . . . not this one

_____

The appropriate choice is ...

... f(n +1) = f(n) - 6

— — — — — 

You can also recognize that the next term is 6 less than the current one, so f(n+1) = f(n) - 6, which corresponds to the 3rd selection.

It is a linear equation but i don't know how to set the equation up , need help​
ryzh [129]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of novels

y = number of dictionaries

x = 8y

88x + 208y = 13680

now, using the identity of the first equation in the second equation gives us

88(8y) + 208y = 13680

704y + 208y = 13680

912y = 13680

y = 13680/912 = 15

x = 8y = 8×15 = 120

so, there were 120 novels and 15 dictionaries sold.
