| Answer» (i) Let the number of steps be x and the number of shapes be y. Tabulating the values of x and y 
 From the table x = 1 ⇒ y = 1 = 12 x = 2 ⇒ y = 4 = 22 x = 3 ⇒ y = 9 = 32 x = 4 ⇒ y = 16 = 42 Hence the relationship between x and y is y = x2. (ii) Let the number of steps be x and the number of shapes be y. Tabulating the values of x and y 
 From the table x = 1 ⇒ y = 1 = 1 x = 2 ⇒ y = 2 + 1 = 3 x = 3 ⇒ y = 3 + 2 = 5 x = 4 ⇒ y = 4 + 3 = 7 x = 5 ⇒ y = 5 + 4 = 9 Hence the relationship between x and y is y = 2x - 1. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
