Answer:
length of the photograph will be 4.2 in. after pressing the button 5 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
By pressing the button, every time size of the photograph gets reduced by 12%.
Therefore, the sequence formed by the reduced sizes of the photo will be a geometric sequence and the formula for the size of the reduced image will be,
L =
Where l = Actual length of the photograph
L = length of the reduced image
n = Number of times the button has been pressed
For l = 8 in. and n = 5
L =
=
= 4.22 in
L ≈ 4.2 in.
Therefore, length of the photograph will be 4.2 in. after pressing the button 5 times.
