Any ideas?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

see any pattern ? between first column and second column elements ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

OpenStudy values the Learning process - not the ‘Give you an answer’ process Don’t post only answers - guide the asker to a solution.

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

-6 is incorrect i think. first lets see if we can figure out the pattern

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, first.. they're all negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are my options.

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

yes, good observation. look at the first row -15 -30

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

clearly -30 is twice of -15 -30 = 2 times (-15)

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

look at second row... and other rows and convince urself if the pattern sticks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I see! 15 plus 15 is 30, 4 plus 4 is 8, 10 and 10 is 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the pattern?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

Yup ! you have very good eyes :)

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

we can write 15 plus 15 as 2 times 15

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

so the pattern is range = 2 times domain

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

or if u prefer, range = domain + domain

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

-8 = -4 + -4 -20 = -10 + -10 -4 = -2 + -2 ? = -3 + -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it is -6! I understand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay! Thanks so much!

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

Yes, nice :)
