Math 9 assignment for Monday 8-29; notes from SBT pages 6-11

Homework for 8-29:  page 11, items 17 and 18


9b. total area is L^2 which means L squared

10a. the graph is a line with a slope of 2

10b. the graph a line with a slope of 4, and you run out of room at the top

10c. the graph is not a straight line


13., 14., 15., 16:

a square is missing a smaller square

area of this level (the current level) is L squared

area of the previous level uses the L from the previous level

in math, "previous" means minus 1

if I am talking about level 42, the previous level is 42 minus 1 = level 41

if I am talking about level q, the previous level is q minus 1 = q - 1

area of the previous level is ( L minus 1 ) squared = ( L - 1 )^2

this level's area minus previous level's area = L^2 minus (L - 1)^2

the number of squares addes = L^2 - (L - 1)^2
