If the owner is giving a free cupcake to every 4th customer. Then the easiest way to do this is to follow the 4 times table: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
So the answer is No, Emma will not be receiving a free cupcake as she is the 17th customer and doesn't fall into the 4th customer pattern.
Table:
y = x²
can also be written as: f(x) = x²
Plug in each x value and calculate the output:
f(-4) = (-4)² = 16
f(-3) = (-3)² = 9
f(-2) = 4
f(-1) = 1
f(-
) = 
f(0) = 0
f(
) = 
f(1) = 1
f(2) = 4
f(3) = 9
f(4) = 16
