Question 1
1.1 A tiling pattern is made by arranging black and red squares, as shown below:\
1.1.1 Complete the table below for tile numbers 5 and 6.
complete the table below for tile numbers 5 and 6 (6 points):
To find the missing values for tile numbers 5 and 6, let's first check the patterns in
the given data:
- The number of red squares \( R \) follows an arithmetic sequence with a common
difference of 2:
- 4, 6, 8, 10 ...
, - It appears to be \( R = 2n + 2 \).
- The number of black squares \( B \):
- 5, 10, 17, 26...
- The difference progresses as follows:
- Difference: 5, 7, 9 (which increases by 2 each time)
- Therefore, it appears to follow a quadratic sequence. We can express this as a
polynomial equation.
To calculate the total squares \( S \) for tile numbers 5 and 6:
- The total number of squares seems to be the square of the tile length \( l \).
- The relationship \( S = l^2 \); where \( l \) is 3 (for tile number 1), so it is likely that
each tile length is \( n + 2 \).
Assuming tile number \( n \):
- For \( n = 5 \), \( l \) would equal 5, and for tile \( n = 6 \), \( l \) would equal 6.
Hence, squares will be:
- \( 5^2 = 25 \)
- \( 6^2 = 36 \)
