Answer:

a3=15 , n=3

a8=0, n=8

a5 = ?

an = a1+ (n-1)d

a3 = a1 + (3-1) d

a3=a1+2d

and a8 = a1 + (8-1 )d

a8= a1+ 7d

15 = a1 + 2 d-------1

0= a1 +7 d----------2

substacting eq 2 from eq 1

15= - 5d

- 5d = 15

divide by - 5

d = -3

putting the value of d in eq 1

15 = a1 + 7 (-3)

15 = a1 -21

adding 21 on both sides

a1-21+21= 15+21

a1 = 36

a5 = ?, n=5, d= -3, a1=36

a5 = 36 + (5-1) (-3)

= 36+(4)(-3)

= 36-12

= 24

The volume of a prism changes from 20 to 540 after a dilation. what was the scale factor of the dilation?
lyudmila [28]
Scale factor is used by architects or engineers to transfer their prototype idea to large-scale use. If the volume of a prism is 20, you need to multiply its dimensions with a scale factor to find the new volume which is 540. For example, if the volume is doubled, this means you used a scale factor of 2. Hence, you just have to divide the new volume by the smaller volume.

Scale factor = 540/20
Scale factor = 27

Mira has breakfast at a restaurant. She leaves a 20\%20%20, percent tip of \$1.80$1.80dollar sign, 1, point, 80.
elena55 [62]

Answer:

$9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $1.8 is 20% of the breakfast cost.

-We can use proportions to find the 100% cost of the breakfast before the tip.

-Let x be the full breakfast cost:

0.2=1.8\\1.0=x\\\\0.2x=1.8\times 1.0\\\\\\x=\frac{1.8}{0.2}\\\\=9

Hence, the full breakfast cost is $9.00 before the tip.
