120,000 = 30,000 * 4 Increase by a factor of N means just multiply by N.
Multiply by 1/4.
For every factor of a number, there is another factor that results when you divide the first factor into the number. Factors can be listed in pairs. Since 9 x 4 = 36, (9,4) is a factor pair of 36.
22,500 increased by 4 percent = 23,400
Yes, because 4 times 5 equals 20. So 4 is a factor of 20.
"by a factor of " is used commonly to mean the same as "multiplied by" or "divided by." If x is INCREASED by a factor of 4, it becomes 4x. If x is DECREASED by a factor of 4, it becomes x/4.
16
If you say that something is "increased by a factor of 8," it just means it was multiplied by 8.
120,000 = 30,000 * 4 Increase by a factor of N means just multiply by N.
x + 4
The area of a sphere is A=4*3.14 * r^2. Thus the area varies as the square of the radius. If the surface area is increased by a factor of 4, then the radius will have to increase by the square root of 4 which is 2.
If you multiplied a number by 4, then the cube of the number would be increased by a factor of 16.
Multiply by 1/4.
if you mean common factor then it is 4
I assume you mean the relationship between the length and the area. Indeed, it is non-linear. The increase in area is proportional to the square of the length of the side. For example, if the length of the side is increased by a factor of 10, the area is NOT increased by a factor of 10, but by a factor of 100.
It means that the number is divided by 4.
I assume you mean common factor. I'm sure its 4.
