6. How can you use an equation to make a prediction from a pattern?
1 answer:
To use an equation to predict a pattern, we substitute the value of the input variable in the equation.
<h3>What are equations?</h3>- Equations are used to represent expressions of equal values
- Equations are represented by the "=" sign
To use an equation to predict a pattern, we simply substitute the value of the independent variable in the equation.
Take for instance, we have the following equation that represents a pattern
In the above equation, we have:
- x represents the independent variable i.e. the input
- y represents the dependent variable i.e. the output
When x = 1, y = 3
When x = 2, y = 5
When x = 3, y = 7
So, a pattern from the equation could be 3, 5, 7....
