The image to the question is missing, but I found a matching image, which is attached to this solution
Answer:
3 minutes = 13 dots
100 minutes = 401 dots
t minutes = 4(t) + 1 dots
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image, the following can be noticed:
time (Mins) dots
0 1
1 5
2 9
The pattern gotten from this progression is that, if the time is multiplied by 4, and the result added to one, the result will be the number of dots.
hence, when the time is 0 minutes:
0 × 4 = 0
0 + 1 = 1 ( 1 dot)
when the time is 1 minute
1 × 4 = 4
4 + 1 = 5 (5 dots)
when the time is 2 minutes
2 × 4 = 8
8 + 1 = 9 ( 9 dots)
Therefore,
when the time = 3 minutes
3 × 4 = 12
12 + 1 = 13 dots
at 100 minutes:
100 × 4 = 400
400 + 1 = 401 dots
at t miutes
t × 4 = 4t
4t + 1 = number of dots
Therefore number of dots at t minutes = 4(t) + 1
