To Find: The conjecture that describes the pattern in each sequence and the next item in the sequence.
Answer to Problem 2MCQ
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Here, it can be seen that first item contains one square.
Next item i.e. second item in the sequence contains one more square than that of first item with the same center and covers the square. Second term has a total of two squares.
Next item i.e. third item in the sequence contains one more square than that of second item in the sequence with the same center and covers the square. Third term has a total of three squares.
It can be observed that the term contains as many squares as the item number of the sequence.
Therefore, the next item in the sequence will be:
