a 35, 70, 140, b 24 300, 8100, 2700, c 64, 160, 400, a 21, 66, 42, 61, 84, 56, … b 22, 41, 79, 136, … b Copy and complete this table. of sticks required c Describe the pattern by stating how many sticks are required to make the first rhombus and how many sticks must be added to make the next rhombus in the pattern. d List the input values that represent the domain. e List the output values that represent the range.

15 Find the next six terms for each of these number patterns.

16 a Draw the next two shapes in this spatial pattern of sticks.

17 A rule to describe a special window spatial pattern is:

Number of sticks = 3 × number of windows + 2 a How many sticks are required to make 1 window? b How many sticks are required to make 10 windows? c How many sticks are required to make g windows? d How many windows can be made from 65 sticks? b State the coordinates on this grid of a point C so that ABCD is a square. c State the coordinates on this grid of a point E on the x-axis so that ABED is a trapezium (i.e. has only one pair of parallel sides).

Extended-response questions

1 For the following questions, write the answers in index notation (i.e. bx) and simplify where possible.

a A rectangle has breadth 27 cm and length 125 cm i Write the breadth and the length as powers. ii Write power expressions for the perimeter and for the area. b A square’s side length is equal to 43 i Write the side length as a power in a different way. ii Write power expressions in three different ways for the perimeter and for the area. c 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 7 × 7 × 7 d 43 + 43 + 43 + 43 one desk two desks three desks four desks five desks a How many rhombuses are contained between: i four desks that are in two rows (as shown in the diagram above)? ii six desks in two rows? b Draw 12 desks in three rows arranged this way. c Rule up a table with columns for the number of:

2 A class arranges its square desks so that the space between their desks creates rhombuses of identical size, as shown in this diagram.

• rows

• desks per row

• total number of desks d If there are four desks per row, write a rule for the number of rhombuses in n rows of square desks. e Using a computer spreadsheet, complete several more tables, varying the number of desks per row. f Explain how the rule for the number of rhombuses changes when the number of desks, d, per row varies and also the number of rows, n, varies. g If the number of rows of desks equals the number of desks per row, how many desks would be required to make 10 000 rhombuses?

• total number of rhombuses.

If there are four desks per row, complete your table for up to 24 desks.
