Question 1179732: The ordered pairs, (1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 12) show the cost of theater tickets. For 1 person, the cost of a ticket is $3, the cost for 2 people is $6 and the cost for 3 people is $12. Which formula, explicit or recursive, would be best to use if you wanted to know the ticket price for 9 people?

I do not see any logic, neither formal, nor human, nor from the business point of view,
in this data collection and in this problem.
Nonsense, from all possible points of view.
Where do you pick up this trash ?

Had the administration established such business rules in some theater,
the OWNER of the theater would fire them next day . . .
giving them only negative business references at each and every request from the outside.

Hello, today in the evening and in the night, several nonsensical posts arrived to this forum.
I am ready to write a message to the managers of this project,
asking them to remove the person, who submit them, from his (or her) position in the project,
due to his (or her) total inability to provide a correct input.
If I see such posts in the future, I DEFINITELY will do it.

You have points (x,y) and x is the number of tickets and y is the corresponding cost for those x tickets. A little bit of examining your ordered pair points shows you that these points are as (x, 3x).
