Write and equation that represents the distance traveled by a person who can bike at a rate of 8 miles per hour. can someone me with this?

  d = 8t

Step-by-step explanation:

A lot of math is about matching patterns. Here, the pattern you can match is given in the problem statement:

  d = 6t  . . . . . equation for distance traveled at 6 miles per hour

You are asked to write an equation for distance traveled at 8 miles per hour. You can see the number 6 in the above equation matches the "miles per hour" of the traveler. This should give you a clue that when the "miles per hour" changes from 6 to 8, the number in the equation will do likewise.

The equation you want is ...

  d = 8t . . . . . equation for distance traveled at 8 miles per hour

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
