Question

Find the common difference in the outputs to help find the missing outputs in the table

Answer 1

We are given table:

Input values (a) :           5          6          7         8       9

Output Values (b) :       3.8       4.6       5.6      ?       ?

We need to find the missing values.

In order to find the common difference, we need subtract next output value from previous output value.

Therefore, common difference = 4.6 - 3.8 = 0.8.

In order to find next missing values, we need to add that common difference in previous value.

Therefore, next value of 5.6 is 5.6+ 0.8 = 6.4.

And other next value = 6.4 + 0.8 = 7.2.

Therefore, the common difference = 0.8 and missing outputs in table are 6.4 and 7.2.
