Patterns are set of rules that guide the creation of a dataset. The observation from the first three designs are as follows:
- The pattern is that the number of tiles increases as the design number increases
- The expressions for the number of tiles are [tex]n^2 + 2(n + 2)[/tex] and [tex]n^2 + 2n + 4[/tex]
- The expression can be proved to be equivalent using graph technology
-
The points on the curve make sense in this scenario because all values are positive
- The pattern is quadratic.
- The largest design number that can enter an empty 10 by 12 ft sign is design number 8
The pattern
The first three design show that, as the design number increases (i.e. 1, 2, 3), the number of tiles used also increases (i.e. 7, 12, 19)
The expressions for the number of tiles
The design number and the number of tiles is represented as follows
[tex]1 \to 7[/tex]
[tex]2 \to 12[/tex]
[tex]3 \to 19[/tex]
From the designs, we observe that some tiles are at the middle, while other tiles are at the sides.
Design 1 has 1 tile at the center and 6 tiles at either sides.
So, we have:
[tex]1 \to 1 + 6[/tex]
[tex]2 \to 4 + 8[/tex]
[tex]3 \to 9 + 10[/tex]
Expand
[tex]1 \to 1^2 + 6 \to 1^2 + 2 \times 3 \to 1^2 + 2 \times (1 + 2)[/tex]
[tex]2 \to 2^2 + 8 \to 2^2 + 2 \times 4 \to 2^2 + 2 \times (2 + 2)[/tex]
[tex]3 \to 3^2 + 10 \to 3^2 + 2 \times 5 \to 3^2 + 2 \times (3 + 2)[/tex]
Notice the pattern,
The number of tiles in design n will be:
[tex]Tiles = n^2 + 2 \times (n + 2)[/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]Tiles = n^2 + 2n + 4[/tex]
Hence, the expressions for number of tiles in design n are:
[tex]n^2 + 2(n + 2)[/tex] and [tex]n^2 + 2n + 4[/tex]
Technology to prove that both expressions are equivalent
To prove that [tex]n^2 + 2(n + 2)[/tex] and [tex]n^2 + 2n + 4[/tex] are equivalent using technology, the graphs of [tex]n^2 + 2(n + 2)[/tex] and [tex]n^2 + 2n + 4[/tex] can be plotted and then compared
The table and graph for the first 6 designs
The table entry for the first 6 designs is calculated as follows:
[tex]n = 1\ \ \ \ \ Tiles = 1^2 + 2 \times 1 + 4 = 7[/tex]
[tex]n = 2\ \ \ \ \ Tiles = 2^2 + 2 \times 2 + 4 = 12[/tex]
[tex]n = 3\ \ \ \ \ Tiles = 3^2 + 2 \times 3 + 4 = 19[/tex]
[tex]n = 4\ \ \ \ \ Tiles = 4^2 + 2 \times 4 + 4 = 28[/tex]
[tex]n = 5\ \ \ \ \ Tiles = 5^2 + 2 \times 5 + 4 = 39[/tex]
[tex]n = 6\ \ \ \ \ Tiles = 6^2 + 2 \times 6 + 4 = 52[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\begin{array}{cc}Design & {Tiles} & {1} & {7} & {2} & {12} & 3 & {19} & {4} & {28} & {5} & {39}& {6} & {52} \ \end{array}[/tex]
See attachment for the graph of the above table
All the points on the curve make sense in this scenario because all values are positive.
The pattern type
We have:
[tex]Tiles = n^2 + 2n + 4[/tex]
When an equation has a degree of 2, the equation is quadratic.
Hence, the pattern is quadratic.
The largest design that an empty sign of 10ft by 12ft can contain.
From the first three designs:
The number of tiles on a complete row and column are always the same.
Design 1 has 3 tiles in its complete row and column
Design 2 has 4 tiles in its complete row and column
Design 3 has 5 tiles in its complete row and column
The relationship between the design number (d) and the number of complete tiles (t) is:
[tex]d = t - 2[/tex]
For the 10ft by 12ft empty sign
[tex]t = 10[/tex] because [tex]10 < 12[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]d = t - 2[/tex]
[tex]d = 10 - 2[/tex]
[tex]d = 8[/tex]
Hence, the largest design number is design 8
