Use Inductive Reasoning to Predict the Next Equation A) $8 ( 5 ) + 8 ( 25 ) + 8 ( 125 ) + 8 ( 625 ) + 8 ( 1250 ) = 10 ( 1250 - 1 )$

question 9

Multiple Choice

Use inductive reasoning to predict the next equation.
- $\begin{aligned}8 ( 5 ) & = 10 ( 5 - 1 ) \\8 ( 5 ) + 8 ( 25 ) & = 10 ( 25 - 1 ) \\8 ( 5 ) + 8 ( 25 ) + 8 ( 125 ) & = 10 ( 125 - 1 ) \\8 ( 5 ) + 8 ( 25 ) + 8 ( 125 ) + 8 ( 625 ) & = 10 ( 625 - 1 ) \end{aligned}$

• A) \(8 ( 5 ) + 8 ( 25 ) + 8 ( 125 ) + 8 ( 625 ) + 8 ( 1250 ) = 10 ( 1250 - 1 )\)
• B) \(8 ( 5 ) + 8 ( 25 ) + 8 ( 125 ) + 8 ( 625 ) + 8 ( 3125 ) = 8 ( 3125 - 1 )\)
• C) \(8 ( 5 ) + 8 ( 25 ) + 8 ( 125 ) + 8 ( 625 ) + 8 ( 3125 ) = 10 ( 3125 - 1 )\)
• D) \(8 ( 5 ) + 8 ( 25 ) + 8 ( 125 ) + 8 ( 625 ) + 8 ( 5000 ) = 10 ( 5000 - 1 )\)
