Answer:
A.
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The area of the shaded region = area of the whole large square - area of the 4 smaller squares
= (5x*5x) - 4(4*4)
Area of shaded region =
B. The expression, , is the difference of two perfect squares, 25x² and 64. Therefore, apply the rule of factoring difference of two perfect squares.
Thus,
Therefore, the expression of the are of the shaded region can be expressed in factored form as:
Answer:
(n + 2)² + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
pattern 1:
Total squares = 15
3² + 6 = 16
Pattern 2:
Total squares = 22
4² + 6
Pattern 3:
Total squares = 31
5² + 6
Looking at the series,
There is an Increment of 1 in squared integer as the pattern increases; there is also a constant integer of 6
Hence, expressing the nth pattern in the form ;
(n + a)² + b
Where n is the nth pattern ; a = (Coefficient of n² in first pattern - 1) = (3 - 1) =2 ;
b = 6
Hence, we have ;
(n + 2)² + 6
