1. Give an example of an open equation.

2. How can you use an equation to make a prediction from a pattern ?

An equation can be used to predict values from a pattern by merely substituting any value to determine the equivalent value. An example is the geometric series which has a standard equation of an = a1 * r^(n-1) and is used to predict the nth term of the series

You guys sound like math professors, English please!

I figured out the 1st one I just need help with the 2nd one now. Anyone?

does anyone have number 7?

no

bc its from brainly

Pizza costs $1.50 per slice. Use a table and an equation to represent the relationship between the number of slices of pizza bought and the total cost.

1. An open equation is an equation that contains one or more variables. It represents a relationship between two or more quantities where the exact value of one or more variables is not known. Here's an example of an open equation:

y = mx + b

In this equation, y represents the dependent variable, x represents the independent variable, m represents the slope, and b represents the y-intercept. The variables y and x are not given specific values, making it an open equation.

2. To use an equation to make a prediction from a pattern, you need to observe the pattern and identify the relationship between the variables. Once you have determined the relationship, you can use the equation to predict the value of the dependent variable for a given value of the independent variable.

Let's take a simple example: Suppose you have observed a pattern where the number of hours studied (x) has a linear relationship with the test scores (y) of students. You find that for each additional hour studied, the test score increases by 5 points.

Based on this pattern, you can create an equation for the relationship:

y = 5x

Now, if you want to predict the test score for a student who has studied for 4 hours, you can substitute the value of x into the equation:

y = 5(4)
y = 20

Therefore, based on the pattern, the prediction is that the student who studied for 4 hours will achieve a test score of 20 points.

By using an equation and the observed pattern, you can make predictions for different values of the independent variable. Just remember to determine the relationship between the variables and apply it to the equation to make accurate predictions.

6. Using equations, you will are able to predict data from a specific value of independent variable. You can see how does the independent variable affect the dependent variable.
