Why is it important to look at more than the first two numbers of a pattern to decide the rule for the pattern?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

This is important because, the first few numbers might seem to follow a pattern but subsequent numbers might reveal a change in the rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

When studying patterns it is important to evaluate all the figures holistically instead of drawing conclusions based on just the first few numbers because there might be a change in what we felt was obvious on close observance of all the numbers. For example, observe the pattern;

2,4,6, 10, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24

The first two numbers show the addition of two. If a person decides to add 2 to all the figures, he would be wrong because after the first three figures, he would have to add 4 to the numbers.

Let n =  the hours elapsed when the two trains are 660 miles apart.


Let the first train travel east and the second train travel west.

The distance traveled by the first train is

x = (50 mi/h)*(n h) = 50n mi


The distance traveled by the second train is

y = (60 mi/h)*(n h) = 60n h


The distance between the two trains after n hours is

x + y = 50 n + 60n = 110n mi


Because this distance is 660 miles, therefore

110n = 660

n = 6 hours


Answer: 6 hours
