To find the number of matchsticks required to create the patterns of the letters T, Z, U, V, E, S, and A, we will analyze each letter and count the matchsticks needed. We will use a variable \( n \) to represent one matchstick. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **(a) Pattern of letter T:** - To form the letter T, we need 2 matchsticks: one for the horizontal bar and one for the vertical bar. - Therefore, the expression for T is: \[ ...
