To find the total number of dots in Figure n based on the pattern, we need to analyze the given options: A) 3n-5, B) 2n+2, C) 2n + 3, and D) 3n-1.
Let's examine each option:
A) 3n-5: This expression implies that for each figure, we multiply n by 3 and then subtract 5. However, the given pattern does not align with this expression, so it is not the correct option.
B) 2n+2: This expression suggests that for each figure, we multiply n by 2 and then add 2. We need to consider if this aligns with the given pattern.
C) 2n + 3: This expression indicates that for each figure, we multiply n by 2 and then add 3. We need to consider if this aligns with the given pattern.
D) 3n-1: This expression implies that for each figure, we multiply n by 3 and then subtract 1. We need to consider if this aligns with the given pattern.
Based on the given pattern, we observe that for each figure, the number of dots increases by 2 compared to the previous figure. This aligns with option B) 2n+2. Therefore, the correct expression to find the total number of dots in Figure n is 2n+2.
