Question

The function b(r)=7+4(r−1)b(r)=7+4(r−1) represents the number of bricks in row r of a structure.

What does the value 7 represent in this situation?

There are 7 bricks in the first row of the structure.

The structure contains 7 rows of bricks.

A given row of bricks contains 7 more bricks than the previous row.

Every row contains exactly 7 bricks.

Answer 1

There are 7 bricks in the first row of the structure

Answer 2

Answer: There are 7 bricks in the first row of the structure.

Explanation:

Given function:
`b(r)=7+4(r−1)` which represents the number of bricks in row r of a structure.

If we put r=1, we get the number of bricks in first row.

`b(1)=7+4(1−1)\\\Rightarrow\ b(1)=7+0\\\Rightarrow\ b=7`

Therefore, There are 7 bricks in the first row of the structure.

Thus, the value of 7 represents that there are 7 bricks in the first row of the structure.
