Solution
Let the number of steps be x and the number of shapes be y.
Tabulating the values of x and y
| Steps (x) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Shapes (y) | 1 | 4 | 9 | 16 |
From the table
x = 1 ⇒ y = 1 = 12
x = 2 ⇒ y = 4 = 22
x = 3 ⇒ y = 9 = 32
x = 4 ⇒ y = 16 = 42
Hence the relationship between x and y is y = x2
