Identify Toothpick Count: (a) To complete the table, we need to count the number of toothpicks for each house. Let's assume the pattern is consistent and we can find it by looking at the first few houses.
Calculate First Difference: (b) First difference calculation involves subtracting the number of toothpicks in the previous house from the current house to see if the difference is constant.
Determine Linearity: (c) If the first difference is constant, the pattern is linear. If not, it's non-linear.
Find Equation Parameters: (d) To write the equation for the relation, we need to identify the slope m and y-intercept b from the pattern or the completed table.
Extrapolate for 10 Houses: (e) To extrapolate the relation for 10 houses, we'll use the equation we found in step (d) and plug in x=10.
