Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through the questions in the image one by one.
Part A: Patterns
-
Pattern 1:
- Sequence: 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22
- Rule: The difference between each term is +3.
-
Pattern 2:
- Sequence: 4, 10, 18, 28, 40, 54, 70, 88
- Rule: The differences increase by 2 each time:
- 10 - 4 = 6
- 18 - 10 = 8
- 28 - 18 = 10
- 40 - 28 = 12, and so on.
-
Pattern 3:
- Sequence: 1, 7, 17, 31, 49, 71, 97, 127
- Rule: The differences follow a quadratic pattern:
- 7 - 1 = 6
- 17 - 7 = 10
- 31 - 17 = 14
- 49 - 31 = 18, and so on.
-
Pattern 4:
- Sequence: 3, 9, 23, 39, 59, 83, 111, 143
- Rule: The differences follow a pattern increasing by 4:
- 9 - 3 = 6
- 23 - 9 = 14
- 39 - 23 = 16
- 59 - 39 = 20, and so on.
-
Pattern 5:
- Sequence: 4, 2, 4, 4, 2, 2, A (missing), 4, 2, 2
- Rule: This is a repeating sequence of numbers with a cycle of 4, 2, 4, 4, 2, 2.
-
Pattern 6:
- This is a pattern involving geometric shapes (triangles).
-
Pattern 7:
- Involves black and white squares forming a sequence.
-
Pattern 8:
- Alternating shapes sequence with triangles and circles.
-
Pattern 9:
- Sequence of letters: C, F, I, L, O, R, U, X.
- Rule: Each letter increases by 3 in the alphabet.
-
Pattern 10:
- Sequence: A, E, K, P, U.
- Rule: Each letter increases by 5 in the alphabet.
Part B: Give What is Asked
-
How many dots will there be in the 10th arrangement of the pattern?
- The number of dots forms a pentagonal pattern, increasing each time.
- Based on the structure, the 10th arrangement will have 55 dots.
-
How many squares will there be in the 20th arrangement of the pattern?
- The number of squares increases in layers. I'll need to confirm a pattern to determine how many squares will be in the 20th arrangement.
Would you like a detailed breakdown of these patterns or any specific explanation? Here are some questions to help extend understanding:
- Can you identify the formula for the quadratic sequence in Pattern 3?
- What is the general rule for finding the 100th term in Pattern 1?
- How would you express the dot pattern as a function of the arrangement number?
- How could the alternating shapes in Pattern 8 be generalized for the next set of arrangements?
- How would you confirm the growth of the number of squares in the 20th arrangement mathematically?
Tip: Identifying differences between consecutive terms is a key way to discover a pattern in a number sequence.
