Maya claims that 8n is the number of dots in figure n. Kiana claims that the number of dots in figure n is given by 4(n+1) Consider the square arrangements below in relation to the girls' expressions, where n represents the figure number.
Determine whether Maya, Kiana or both girls are correct in their given expressions. Justify your response.

The evaluation of your response will be based on the following criteria.

Kaya's answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of dots in successive figures are

8, 16, 24.

So Kaya's solution 8n is correct.

When n = 1, first square = 8*1 = 8 dots

n = 2: second square = 8*2 = 16

n = 3, 3rd square = 8*3 = 24.

If I have interpreted Kianna's formula correctly

for n = 1, then the number of dots = 2(1+ 1)^2 - 2(1 - - 1)^2

= 0.

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?

answer4 to the second power is 16

and 4 to the third power is 64,
