Use inductive reasoning to predict the next equation.
-(4 × 1)x (2 × 1)= 8
(4 × 10)x (2 × 2)= 160
(4 × 100)x (2 × 3)= 2400
A)(4 × 1000)x (2 × 4)= 36,000
B)(4 × 1000)x (2 × 4)= 3200
C)(4 × 1000)x (2 × 4)= 28,000
D)(4 × 1000)x (2 × 4)= 32,000

Question

Use inductive reasoning to predict the next equation.
-(4 × 1)x (2 × 1)= 8 
(4 × 10)x (2 × 2)= 160
(4 × 100)x (2 × 3)= 2400
A)(4 × 1000)x (2 × 4)= 36,000
B)(4 × 1000)x (2 × 4)= 3200
C)(4 × 1000)x (2 × 4)= 28,000
D)(4 × 1000)x (2 × 4)= 32,000

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pattern involves multiplying the first number by increasing powers of 10 (1, 10, 100, 1000) and the second number by consecutive integers (1, 2, 3, 4). The results are 8, 160, 2400, so for the next equation: (4 × 1000) x (2 × 4) = 4000 x 8 = 32,000.
