The given image appears to be a table with numbers. To find $x$ and $y$, we need to analyze the relationship between the rows and columns in the table.

Here is the table from the image for clarity:

2	1
0	5
2	5
2	9
$x$	$y$

Now, let's observe the relationships and patterns:

1. Check for arithmetic progression or differences between rows.
2. Check for a multiplication or division factor between columns.
3. Check for any custom rule (e.g., sums, products, etc.).

Let me calculate the relationships step by step. numpy as np

Table data as seen in the image

table = np.array([ [2, 1], [0, 5], [2, 5], [2, 9], [None, None] # x and y are unknowns ])

Analyze column-wise differences

column_differences = np.diff(table, axis=0)

column_differencesThe presence of $\text{None}$ values (unknowns $x$ and $y$) is causing issues in the computation. I will analyze the table relationships manually to deduce $x$ and $y$. Let's proceed step by step:

1. Column 1 (2, 0, 2, 2):
   Observing the numbers, there seems to be a potential repeating or fixed relationship for the first column.

2. Column 2 (1, 5, 5, 9):
   The differences between adjacent numbers are:

   • $5 - 1 = 4$
   • $5 - 5 = 0$
   • $9 - 5 = 4$
     This suggests an alternating pattern of adding $4$ and maintaining $5$.

I will now calculate $x$ and $y$ based on these observations.From the table's patterns:

1. Column 1 (2, 0, 2, 2):

   • The first column seems to cycle or repeat. Assuming $x$ follows the observed pattern, $x = 2$.

2. Column 2 (1, 5, 5, 9):

   • The differences alternate: $+4, 0, +4$. Following this, the next difference would likely be $0$, keeping $y = 9$.

Thus: $x = 2, \quad y = 9$

Would you like a detailed breakdown of these steps or help verifying this pattern further?

Tip:

When solving such problems, look for consistent patterns in rows or columns, such as differences, ratios, or repeated cycles.
