6 sticks for the pattern of number 6

3 sticks for the pattern of number n

Step-by-step explanation:

Please check the attached picture.

This is a standard way to create number 6 and number n from sticks.

Hope this helps!

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Record the number of sticks and look for a pattern

1 → 6 sticks

2 → 10 sticks

3 → 14 sticks

There is a difference of + 4 between each pattern, thus add 4 to the previous pattern , that is

4 → 14 + 4 = 18

5 → 18 + 4 = 22

6 → 22 + 4 = 26

That is there are 26 sticks in pattern number 6

(b)

Multiplying the pattern number (n) by the difference 4 gives

4 × 1 = 4 ← require to + 2 for 6

4 × 2 = 8 ← require to + 2 for 10

4 × 3 = 12 ← require to + 2 for 14

Thus pattern number n would have

sticks = 4n + 2

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
