To use an equation to predict a pattern, we substitute the value of the input variable in the equation.

What are equations?

  • Equations are used to represent expressions of equal values
  • Equations are represented by the "=" sign

Using equation to predict a pattern

To use an equation to predict a pattern, we simply substitute the value of the independent variable in the equation.

Take for instance, we have the following equation that represents a pattern

[tex]y = 2x + 1[/tex]

In the above equation, we have:

  • x represents the independent variable i.e. the input
  • y represents the dependent variable i.e. the output

When x = 1, y = 3

When x = 2, y = 5

When x = 3, y = 7

So, a pattern from the equation could be 3, 5, 7....
