The complete table is
Number of figures formed 1 2 3 4 25 n
Number of matchsticks 5 8 11 14 77 3n+2

(b)By observing the matchsticks pattern, the general term for the number of matchsticks will be 7n + 1.
Number of figures formed 1 2 3 4 25 50 n
Number of matchsticks 8 15 22 29 176 351 7n+1

(c)By observing the matchsticks pattern, the genera term for the number of matchsticks will be 3n + 2.
