Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Determine the rule for the pattern.

    Observe the given input and output values:

    • Input 1 gives Output 5
    • Input 2 gives Output 9
    • Input 3 gives Output 13

    Calculate the difference between consecutive output values:
    9−5=49 - 5 = 4
    13−9=413 - 9 = 4
    The common difference is 4. This indicates a linear relationship of the form Tn=an+bT_n = an + b, where aa is the common difference.
    So, Tn=4n+bT_n = 4n + b.
    Using the first pair (Input 1, Output 5):
    5=4(1)+b5 = 4(1) + b
    5=4+b5 = 4 + b
    b=1b = 1
    The rule is Tn=4n+1T_n = 4n + 1.

  2. Complete the flow diagram.

    The rule for the flow diagram is 4n+14n + 1.
    For the input value 20, calculate the output:

    T20=4(20)+1=80+1=81T_{20} = 4(20) + 1 = 80 + 1 = 81

    The completed flow diagram is:
    Input values:
    1 →\rightarrow
    2 →\rightarrow
    3 →\rightarrow
    20 →\rightarrow

    Middle box: 4n+1\boxed{4n+1}

    Output values:
    →\rightarrow 5
    →\rightarrow 9
    →\rightarrow 13
    →\rightarrow 81\boxed{81}

  3. Complete the table.

    Using the rule Tn=4n+1T_n = 4n + 1:
    For Stage 1: T1=4(1)+1=5T_1 = 4(1) + 1 = 5
    For Stage 2: T2=4(2)+1=9T_2 = 4(2) + 1 = 9
    For Stage 3: T3=4(3)+1=13T_3 = 4(3) + 1 = 13
    For Stage 4: T4=4(4)+1=17T_4 = 4(4) + 1 = 17
    For Stage 5: T5=4(5)+1=21T_5 = 4(5) + 1 = 21

    The completed table is:

    Stage12345
    Number of match sticks59131721

    The missing values are:

    • The rule in the flow diagram: 4n+1\boxed{4n+1}
    • The output for input 20: 81\boxed{81}
    • The number of match sticks for Stage 5: 21\boxed{21}
