You play a game where you throw a pair of connected balls at a structure, as shown at the right. When a pair wraps around a bar, you earn the points shown. You toss 3 pairs, and all of them wrap around a bar. Which expression could represent your total score if a pairs of balls wrap-around blue ball?

3. The ordered pairs, (1, 3), (3, 6), (5, 9) show the cost of theater tickets. For 1 person, the cost of a ticket is $3, the cost for 3 people is $6 and the cost for 5 people is $9. Which formula, explicit or recursive, would be best to use if you wanted to know the ticket price for 9 people? 4. Use the table to graph the values. Which type of function does the table and graph show? Are the output values geometric? Why or why not?
