Answer:

n^2+3

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the diagram

1st pattern consists from 1 square 1x1 +3 squares 1x1 each

2nd pattern consists from 1 square 2x2 +3 squares 1x1 each

3-rd pattern consists from 1 square 3x3 +3 squares 1x1 each

4-th pattern consists from 1 square 4x4 + 3 squares 1x1  each

We can to continue :

5-th pattern consists from 1 square 5x5+3 squares 1x1 each

So the nth    pattern consists from 1 square nxn+3 squares 1x1 each

Or total amount of 1x1 squares in nth pattern N= n^2+3

Answer:

n² + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first pattern has 4 squares.

The second pattern has 7 squares.

The third pattern has 12 squares.

The fourth pattern has 19 squares.

When we subtract 3 on each term we get:

1, 4, 9, and 16, which are perfect squares.

So n² is in the formula. Each term is added 3 to the perfect squares.

The nth term becomes n² + 3.

Sean took 4 hours to travel from Town A to Town B at an
labwork [276]

Answer:

Tina's average speed  for the whole journey = 56 kmph

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Sean to travel from Town A to Town B = 4 hours.

Average speed of Sean = 70 km/h

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Time, t = 4 hours.

Initial speed, u = 70 km/hr

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Substituting

      s = ut + 0.5 at²

      s = 70 x 4 + 0.5 x 0 x  4²

       s = 280 km

Distance from Town A to Town B = 280 km

Tina took 1 hour more than Sean.

Time taken by Tina to travel from Town A to Town B = 4 +1 = 5 hours

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Time, t = 5 hours.

Displacement, s = 280 km

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Substituting

      s = ut + 0.5 at²

      280 = u x 5 + 0.5 x 0 x  5²

       u = 56 km/hr

Tina's average speed  for the whole journey = 56 kmph
