Extrapolations - Algebra 2

Find the pattern in this sequence of numbers:

In this case, the pattern is adding 13n to the previous number where n= how many numbers came before the current number.

so the first number we are looking for would be:

the second number we are looking for would be:

To extrapolate the results of the study out to 53 minutes, first we have to determine an equation representing the relationship between time passed and amount of water; we can write our equation in slope-intercept form:

Where our y-axis represents amount of water and the x-axis represents time. We can pick 2 points and label them Point 1 and Point 2; looking back at the table:

We label Point 1 as and Point 2 as ; we plug these points into the slope formula as follows:

So, the slope of our line that describes how much water is in the boat is ; to find our term, the y-intercept, we need to pick a point on the graph and plug in our slope to solve for y-intercept. Let's once again choose the point :

Simplify the expression and we find that b=0, so our slope-intercept equation is:

Plugging in a value of 53 for , we find that:

So the answer is 42.4 gallons of water in the boat after 53 minutes.

Find the pattern of the sequence:

This pattern is so the next number in the sequence would be
