Concept explainers
The conjecture to describe the pattern in each sequence and the next item in sequence.
Answer to Problem 62SPR
The next term will have 16 square blocks in 4 layers.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given sequence is:
Calculation:
Initially, there is 1 square block.
Then, there are 4 (1 +3) square blocks in two layers.
Finally, there are 9 (1 +3 +5) squares blocks in three layers.
The conjecture is:
Every term has one more layer more than the previous term.
Therefore, the next term will have 16 square blocks in 4 layers.
