Question

Consider the two patterns described below.

Pattern Rule Starting
Number
E Add 4 0
F Add 12 0

Which of the following sentences describes the relationship between the corresponding terms in the two patterns?
A.
The terms in pattern F are 8 more than the corresponding terms in pattern E.

B.
The terms in pattern F are 8 less than the corresponding terms in pattern E.

C.
The terms in pattern F are 3 times smaller than the corresponding terms in pattern E.

D.
The terms in pattern F are 3 times the size of the corresponding terms in pattern E.

Answer 1

D.

Pattern E: 0, 4, 8, 12, ... (term n = 4n).
Pattern F: 0, 12, 24, 36, ... (term n = 12n = 3·4n).
So each term of F is 3 times the corresponding term of E.
