Math out of box
1 2 3 4 5 this is called steps(s)
5 9 13 17 21 this is called tiles(t)
we know you are adding 4, but what is the rule such as (S X S + 4-1-5)I know its not right so help then right the rule for this.
To find the rule that relates the steps (s) to the tiles (t), we can start by observing the given numbers:
Step (s): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Tiles (t): 5, 9, 13, 17, 21
Notice that each tile number is obtained by adding a multiple of 4 to the corresponding step number. Specifically, the first tile (5) is obtained by adding 4 to the first step (1). The second tile (9) is obtained by adding 8 (which is 4 multiplied by 2) to the second step (2). This pattern continues for the remaining tiles.
So, the rule that relates the steps (s) to the tiles (t) can be written as:
t = 4s + (1 × (s - 1))
Let's simplify this equation:
t = 4s + s - 1
t = 5s - 1
Therefore, the rule for finding the tiles (t) in terms of the steps (s) is t = 5s - 1.
