Write an expression for the number of small squares in pattern n

Please properly answer.

(n + 2)² + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

pattern 1:

Total squares = 15

3² + 6 = 16

Pattern 2:

Total squares = 22

4² + 6

Pattern 3:

Total squares = 31

5² + 6

Looking at the series,

There is an Increment of 1 in squared integer as the pattern increases; there is also a constant integer of 6

Hence, expressing the nth pattern in the form ;

(n + a)² + b

Where n is the nth pattern ; a = (Coefficient of n² in first pattern - 1) = (3 - 1) =2 ;

b = 6

Hence, we have ;

(n + 2)² + 6

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.
