It has to do with the number of dimensions you have in the figure. For example, in a square you have 2 dimensions, length and width. Since you have only two you use units^2. In a cube, you have 3 dimensions, length, width and height, which is where you get the units^3.

Explicit and Recursive Functions:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
In this problem we need to find the value of a and b. So given that t<span>he function should be in the form f(n) = an + b and we know each value of n, then out goal is to find a and b.

For getting this purpose, we need to find a system of two equations (given that we have two unknown variables)

Therefore:

(1) f(0) = a(1) + b = 18
</span>∴ a + b = 18
<span>
(2) f(1) = a(2) + b = 24
</span>∴ 2a + b = 24<span>

Solving for a and b we have:

a = 6
b = 12

Finally:

f(n) = 6n + 12</span>
