Answer:
Pattern seen is arithmetic progression. The both equations are same.
Step-by-step explanation:
a.The given pattern is 8,12,16,20,24....We can see that the difference between any two consecutive terms is 4.Therefore this is an AP(arithmetic progression).
b.Percy's equation , [tex]N = 8 + 4(s-1)\\[/tex]
⇒[tex]N = 8 + 4s - 4[/tex]
⇒[tex]N = 4s + 4[/tex]
⇒[tex]N = 4(s+1)[/tex]
which is the same as Stella's equation . So , we can see that both equations are the same.
