Question

The total number of miles Jeremy walked on a hike can be represented by using the formula and n represents the total number of hours walked, what is the total distance Jeremy walked at the end of each of the first three hours?
2 miles, 5 miles, 8 miles
2 miles, 6 miles, 18 miles
2 miles, 3 miles, 4 miles
2 miles, 4 miles, 6 miles

Answer 1

The formula is missing from your question — I need it to compute the distances.

Method: plug n = 1, 2, 3 into the formula to get the totals after each hour.

Examples:
- If the formula were d = 3n − 1, then d(1)=2, d(2)=5, d(3)=8 → 2, 5, 8.
- If the formula were d = 2n, then d(1)=2, d(2)=4, d(3)=6 → 2, 4, 6.

Paste the formula and I’ll compute the correct choice.
