Question

Is the relationship between the step number and the number of squares a quadratic function? Explain how you now. Urgent please help!!!!

Answer 1

The relationship that shows the number of squares per step is:

step 1 2

step 2 6

step 3 12

This is not a quadratic function

it goes from 2 to 3 * 2 to 3 * 2* 2

6 is not the square of 2

and 12 is not the square of 6

It goes like:

(x+1)^2 + 1
