Do the numbers in the perimeter row form an arithmetic sequence? If so, what is the common difference, and what is the recursive formula for the perimeter of a square of side n(the nth perimeter) using the first number(perimeter) in the pattern?

Answer:

  • Common difference d = 4
  • Recursive formula Pā‚™ā‚Šā‚ = Pā‚™+ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the perimeter of the square with length of n be Pā‚™.

According to given table we have:

  • Pā‚ = 4, Pā‚‚= 8, Pā‚ƒ = 12, Pā‚„= 16, Pā‚…= 20

We can put this as a sequence:

  • 4, 8, 12, 16, 20

Common difference is:

  • d = 8 - 4 = 12 - 8 = 16 - 12 = 20 - 16 = 4

The recursive formula for this sequence is:

  • Pā‚™ā‚Šā‚ = Pā‚™+ 4
