Question

Look at the two patterns below: Pattern A: Starts at 5 and follows the rule "add 6" Pattern B: Starts at 5 and follows the rule "add 3" Select the statement that is true. (4 points) a The terms in Pattern A are 2 times the corresponding terms in Pattern B. B The terms in Pattern B are one third the corresponding terms in Pattern A. C The first five terms in Pattern A are 5, 11, 17, 23, and 29. D The first five terms in Pattern B are 0, 5, 8, 11, 14.

Answer 1

Answer:

The first five terms in Pattern A are 5, 11, 17, 23, and 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Pattern A:

5 + 6a

Pattern B:

5 + 3a

Take a = 1 and compare ;

Pattern A:

5 + 6(1) = 11

Pattern B:

5 + 3(1) = 8

A ≠ 2B

B ≠ 1/3A

First 5 terms in pattern A :

Pattern A:

5

5 + 6(1) = 11

5 + 6(2)= 17

5 + 6(3) = 23

5 + 6(4) = 29

5 + 6(5) = 35

Pattern B cannot have a term 0 as it starts from 5
