Gary pose la question :
What is the number of possible combinations using the following fact pattern?
A. Each combination must have 4 numbers.
B. The possible numbers to choose from are 1, 2, 3, 4
C. The numbers can be included in the combination more than once. For example, it can be 1111.

Is it possible to generate a schedule of the possibilities?

A question about a pattern 2012-04-02
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

2 4 110 210 105 53 (52)


C is added to D to give the new D number.

3 5 120 330 110 66 (44)
4 6 130 460 115 77 (38)
5 7 140 600 120 86 (34)


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?

The nth term 2010-11-22
Daphne pose la question :

Question from Daphne, a student:

Hi,
My name is Daphne and I am having trouble with a math problem. I am given this pattern below and asked to find an expression for the number of Bs in the nth term of the pattern. Someone please help!!!

ABBA
AABBBAA
AAABBBBAAA
AAAABBBBBAAAA

The next part asks me to find the ratio of Bs to total letters in the nth term.

Finally it says to use my expression to determine which term has exactly 35% Bs.

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. Cheryl

A number pattern 2006-10-02
Tim pose la question :

The patterns that went in 2s, 4s and 5s we got, but we are stuck on the pattern that doubles. We can't come up with the rule or equation that solves it.

With the first number being the term number and the second being the term, this is the pattern:

1-1
2-2
3-4
4-8
5-16
6-32
7-64
100-128

What is the rule for this?

Mathilda and Matthew 2005-12-18
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.
