Question

What is an equation for this relationship? The table shows the total number of squares in each figure below.

Answer 1

You have four choices. Just plug the numbers into the equations and check which works.

Answer 2

none of them seem to work

Answer 3

Hmm. You're right.

Answer 4

this is a bogus question. the number of squares is
y= (2n-1)^2 +4 for n=1,2,3....

it is definitely not linear, so the equation for a line will not work

Answer 5

im going with B. y = 10x + 16
this online school is bogus. there have been several of questions like this. i have also gotten questions marked wrong that were right. i got them straightened out, but it shouldnt be like this.

Answer 6

B. y = 10x + 16 was correct
