Question 630131: Please help me solve this problem.
Describe how patterns a and b are related.
a=4 b=16
a=3 b=8
a=2 b=4
a=1 b=2
a=0 b=?
a=-1b=?
a=-2 b=?
I know that each one is a-1 and b/2. But I do not under stand how to write the relationship.

Describe how patterns a and b are related.
a=4 b=16
a=3 b=8
a=2 b=4
a=1 b=2
a=0 b=?
a=-1b=?
a=-2 b=?
I know that each one is a-1 and b/2. But I do not under stand how to write the relationship.
==================
a=4 b=16
a=3 b=8
a=2 b=4
a=1 b=2
a=0 b=1
a=-1b=1/2
a=-2 b=1/4
b+=+2%5Ea
