Study the in/out taable.
In(p) Out
1 3
2 7
3 11
4 15
5 ?
Which expressions give the output if (p) is the input?
A. p+3
B. 2p+1
C. 2p+3
D. 4p-1
1 + 2 = 3
2 + 5 = 7
3 + 8 = 11
4 + 11 = 15
Do you see the pattern?
I'll be glad to check your answer.
my answer is C
ISC THE CORRECT ANSWER
No.
2p + 3 would be 10 + 3 = 13
The output must be more than 15.
Ms. Sue the pattern will be
13+5=18 so the correct answer is B
is that correct.
Is the answer correct Ms Sue B
To find which expressions give the output for a given input, we can analyze the pattern in the in/out table.
Looking at the In column (p) and the Out column, we can observe that the output values are obtained by incrementing the input value by a certain amount. Specifically, for each input value, the output value is obtained by multiplying the input value by a constant factor and then adding a constant term.
Let's compare the given expressions with the pattern we observed:
A. p+3: This expression adds a constant value of 3 to the input value. (Does not match the pattern)
B. 2p+1: This expression multiplies the input value by a constant factor of 2 and adds a constant term of 1. (Does not match the pattern)
C. 2p+3: This expression multiplies the input value by a constant factor of 2 and adds a constant term of 3. (Matches the pattern)
D. 4p-1: This expression multiplies the input value by a constant factor of 4 and subtracts a constant term of 1. (Does not match the pattern)
Therefore, the expression that matches the pattern and gives the output if (p) is the input is C. 2p+3.
