5. The 5th figure will have 30 tiles.
6. The 6th figure will have 42 tiles.
7. The pattern is non-linear (quadratic).
8. The 20th figure can be made with 420 tiles.
_____
The Nth figure is made with n*(n+1) tiles. To answer question 8, you must solve
.. n(n +1) = 420
.. n^2 +n -420 = 0
.. (n +21)(n -20) = 0
.. n = 20 or -21 . . . . the negative solution is extraneous
First you must take into account the variable that is being defined for this case:
c = represents the number of puppies whose eyes are closed.
We can then write the following equation:
15 = 11 + c
Rewriting the equation:
11 + c = 15
Clearing c:
c = 15-11
c = 4
4 puppies have their eyes closed
Answer:
11 + c = 15
4 puppies have their eyes closed
