Question

marty has some seeds to plant. He made a table to show show how many flowers will bloom from each seed. which equation can marty use instead of the table?

Answer 1

Answer: F = 3s

According to the table,

The number of seeds planted 1 2 3 4

Number of flowers blommed 3 6 9 12

The number of flowers bloomed is a function of the number of seeds planted

The common difference in the number of flowers bloomed is

6 - 3 = 3

9 - 6 = 3

12 - 9 = 3

Therefore, the common difference = 3

F = 3 x number of seeds plante

Let s = number of seeds planted

F = 3s
