He is wrong.
The 10 inch cube is bigger than the 5 inch cube by 5 cm in EACH DIRECTION.
So, the 10 inch cube should be twice as big in volume by a factor of 2*2*2
=8
Okay let's see.
5 cm cube volume = 5*5*5 = 125 cc
10 cm cube volume = 10 * 10 * 10 = 1,000 cc

1,000 / 125 = 8

What are the first four terms of the sequence given by the formula below an=-2n+4
erica [24]
An = -2n + 4 ; where n is the sequence number or order.

a1 = -2(1) + 4 
a1 = -2 + 4
a1 = 2

a2 = -2(2) + 4
a2 = -4 + 4
a2 = 0

a3 = -2(3) + 4
a3 = -6 + 4
a3 = -2

a4 = -2(4) + 4
a4 = -8 + 4
a4 = -4

So the first four terms of the sequence are: 2, 0, -2, -4
