Tim's scores the first five times he plays a video game are listed below.
4,526 4,599 4,672 4,745 4,818
Tim's scores follow a pattern. Which expression can be used to determine his score after he played the video game n times.
A.) 73n + 4,453
B.) 73(n + 4,453)
C.) 4,453n + 73***
D.) 4,526n
clearly A
just let n = 1, 2, 3, ... to get the scores listed
your choice, on the second play where n = 2, would
produce a score of 4453(2) + 73 or 8979
To determine the expression that relates Tim's score to the number of times he played the game, we need to identify the pattern in his scores.
By looking at the scores: 4,526, 4,599, 4,672, 4,745, 4,818, we can observe that each score increases by 73 each time. Therefore, we can use the expression 73n to represent the increase in score after each play.
However, we also need to consider the initial score, which is 4,526. So, the correct expression to determine Tim's score after playing the game n times is:
C.) 4,453n + 73
To find the expression that can be used to determine Tim's score after he plays the video game n times, we need to analyze the given scores and look for a pattern.
Looking at the given scores: 4,526, 4,599, 4,672, 4,745, 4,818, we notice that each score is obtained by adding 73 to the previous score.
So, the pattern is that each subsequent score is obtained by adding 73 to the previous score.
To find Tim's score after he played the video game n times using this pattern, we use the expression:
Score = (73n) + starting score
The starting score is the first score Tim obtained, which is 4,526.
Therefore, the correct expression to determine Tim's score after he played the video game n times is:
Score = (73n) + 4,526
Hence, the correct answer is option D) 4,526n.
