Question

Write equations for the following number pattern.

x y
1 7
2 49
3 343
4 2401
5 16807

Answer 1

It looks as if we are multiplying by powers of 7.

Answer 2

7 to the first power is 7.
7 to the second power is 7*7 = 49 which can be written as 7²

Answer 3

yeah I know but how do you write this in a equation?

Answer 4

If x is the power, then y = 7 ^x power or is it y = x ^ 7 power?

For (2,49) is 49 = 7^2 or does 49 = 2 ^ 7 ?

Answer 5

7^2 means 7 times 7.

2^7 means 2*2*2*2*2*2*2.

Answer 6

The value of y is a power of 7.

Example: 2401 = 7 ^ 4 --> In the chart, this shows as (4, 2401).

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

y = 7 ^ ?

Answer 10
