Question
Look at the pattern 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...
Describe the pattern and try and find an equation that works for every term in the pattern.
- n
- 3n
- 2n
- 2 + n
Hint:
The given pattern is 2,4,6,8...
It is clear from the pattern tha
for n=1 we get 2
for n =2 we get 4
For n=3 we get 6
we can use this pattern to generate a formula. Typically with number patterns we use n to represent term number. So, this pattern is 2 times the term number, or 2n.
The correct answer is: 2n
In the question wewere given with a pattern and asked to find the equation that works with every number, For that lets observe the pattern carefully
We observed number in each case and then obtained the general formula working for all the values of n.
General equation = 2n
