Final answer:

Without the visuals, it's challenging to provide an accurate response. Typically, you'd need to count the toothpicks in the figures and match the quantities with whichever of the algebraic pattern rules applies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Without the visuals for Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4, it's challenging to accurately determine which of the algebraic pattern rules (4n, 2n + 2, 3n + 1, 4n - 1) represents the toothpick pattern. Generally, in such problems, you'd need to compare the count of toothpicks in each figure with the respective figure number. For algebraic pattern rule 4n, Figure 1 would have 4 toothpicks, Figure 2 would have 8, and so forth. You'd apply a similar method for all the other algebraic pattern rules. Once you've counted the toothpicks, match the quantities with whichever rule applies.
