The scale drawing of a rectangular room will be enlarged by a scale factor of 4 to create the actual room. the actual area of the room will be 150 square feet. which expression finds the area of the scale drawing?

The expression is equal to

The area of the scale drawing is

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

let

z------> the scale factor

x------> the area of the actual room

y-----> the area of the scale drawing

so

we have

substitute and solve for y

step-by-step explanation:

, and

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
