To find the common difference, we need to look at the difference between consecutive outputs in each column.
For column a, the difference between each consecutive output is 1.
For column b, the difference between each consecutive output is 0.8.
To find the missing outputs in column b, we can continue adding 0.8 to the previous output.
The missing output after 5.4 would be 6.2, and the next missing output would be 7.0.
Therefore, the completed table would be:
a | b
---|---
5 | 3.8
6 | 4.6
7 | 5.4
8 | 6.2
9 | 7.0
Find the common difference in the outputs to help find the missing outputs in the table. Be sure to show your work.
