A question about a pattern |

Steven pose la question :
A |
B |
C |
D |
E |
F |
(G) |
1 |
3 |
|
100 |
100 |
33 |
(67) |
D is divided by A and B to give E and F the difference between E and F is G
C is added to D to give the new D number.
3 |
5 |
120 |
330 |
110 |

115 |
77 |
(38) |
5 |
7 |
140 |
600 |
120 |

Following the pattern you might expect a massive increase in C to result in a significant decrease in G but...
6 |
8 |
1000 |
1600 |
267 |
200 |
(67) |
G actually increases and goes back to square 1 Why?

Finding a Number Pattern |
2010-09-22 |

Cheryl pose la question : Sunshine Math - 4, Jupiter 1, question 4 which is (a, b, c & d). I am wanting to know question 4d. Think about the following list of number pairs. Three is the first number of a pair, and 8 is the second.
3 - 8
4 - 11
5 - 14
6 - 17 and so forth
Question d. - If a number "n" is the first number, what is the second number?
I don't know how my son should answer this question. It sounds like it should be a formula but how does he get to it and how do I explain it to him.
Looking forward to your help.

A student pose la question :
Question: 1) The average of 12 is 5. The average of of 8 of these numbers ia 6. What is the average of the other four.
2)Mathilda is playing a mathematical game with Matthew. Each player starts from a point, then moves in a straight line to a second point,then to a third and so on. The moves are not made randomly, but are determined by a mathematical rule. The object of the game is to find the rule. It is Mathilda's turn to move on the grid . She starts at point M (3,9), moves to point N (2,4) and then to point O (0,0). Given Mathilda's rule, what could be the coordinates of the next point to which she might move?

Looking for a pattern |
2000-05-08 |

Laura pose la question : Yesterday, me teacher stumped me with a question. He talked to us about square units. He told us an area of 1 square unit produces 1 shape, an area of 2 sq.units produces 1 shape, an area of 3 sq.units produces 2 different shapes, an area of four square units produces 5 different shapes, and an area od five sq.units produces 12 different shapes. He left us there. He said we had to find how many different shapes an area of 1 sq. unit produces through how many different shapes an area of 15 sq.units produces. He said we could complete this "chart" by finding an equation. But, I can't find the equation. I think it may be a quadratic of some sort. My teacher told us to use the area(in sq.units) as X and the # of different shapes produced as Y. Now, what really is stumping me is I would have to have an equation so when X is Y, Y is 1 and when X is 2, Y is 1. I have also tried to see if I can complete a patter or something. The pattern I saw was 1,1,2,5,12. I can't make much sense of that pattern. Penny Nom lui répond. |
