Question

Consider the two patterns described below.

Pattern Rule Starting
Number
J Add 6 0
P Add 24 0

Which of the following sentences describes the relationship between the corresponding terms in the two patterns?
A.
The terms in pattern P are 4 times the size of the corresponding terms in pattern J.

B.
The terms in pattern P are 18 more than the corresponding terms in pattern J.

C.
The terms in pattern P are 18 less than the corresponding terms in pattern J.

D.
The terms in pattern P are 4 times smaller than the corresponding terms in pattern J.

Answer 1

A.

Each term of J is 6n (starting n=0), each term of P is 24n = 4·6n, so every P term is 4 times the corresponding J term (e.g. 6 → 24, 12 → 48).
