Jamie is walking her neighbors’ dog while they are away. She is keeping track of the total number of blocks she walks over time.

A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled Minutes with entries 6, 14, 20. Column 2 is labeled Blocks with entries 3, 7, 10.

Does the table represent a proportional relationship?
Yes, because both columns are written in ascending order.
Yes, because the values in the second column are less than the values in the first column.
Yes, because the ratios are equivalent between each pair of values.
No, because the values in the table do not increase by the same amount in each row

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

it would open into a square depending on the type of envelope i’m not sure about the second part
