Question

A table of values of a linear function is shown below. Find the output when the input is n. Type your answer in the space provided.

Answer 1

It would be 3n + 1.

Explanation:

By looking at the input and output, you can figure out that the output is 1 more than 3 times the input.

1 --> 3(1) + 1 = 4

2 --> 3(2) + 1 = 7

3 --> 3(3) + 1 = 10

4 --> 3(4) + 1 = 13

So the output is always 1 more than 3 times the input.

3 times "n" is equal to 3n

So 1 more than 3 times "n" is equal to 3n+1

3n + 1 would you your answer.

Hope that helps, :)
