A scale drawing is made to enlarge a picture by using a scale factor of 3. The enlarged picture is 9 inches by 15 inches. What are the dimensions of the original picture? 3 inches by 5 inches 3 inches by 15 inches 6 inches by 12 inches 27 inches by 45 inches

3 inches by 5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is 3 so the original lengths are 1/3 of the enlarged , so the answer is 9/3 by 15/3

= 3 by 5.

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
