Question

Suppose you have developed a scale that indicates the brightness of sunlight . Each category in the tablet is 5 time brighter than the category above it. For example, a day that is dazzling is 5 times brighter than a day that is radiant . How many times brighter is a dazzling day than a dim day

Dim is 2

Answer 1

If you could put in the tablet.

But the equation would be: a_n = a_1 (r)^(x-1)

with a_1 being the first category

r being 5 how much brighter than the day before is

and x is what nr. in the sequence it is

But I'm not sure as I cannot see the table

Answer 2

10 Times

Explanation:

From the statement "Each category in the tablet is 5 time brighter than the category above it." It can be inferred that the brightest portion of the day must be 5 times the less bright day. This means that:

Dim = 2

Brightest = 5 times dim

= 5 * 2

= 10
