Advanced Math practice question

The function p is defined by p(x) = 3·2ˣ + 1. The table shows some of its values. x | p(x) 0 | 4 1 | 7 2 | ? What is the missing value?

Answer: 13

p(2) = 3(4) + 1 = 13.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 10
10 continues the pattern of adding 3, but the function doubles the 3·2ˣ part.
If you answered 12
12 forgets the + 1.
If you answered 14
14 doubles 7, but the + 1 is not doubled.
