This can help for how you can find it. Can you please tell me if you figure it out and if it was right? And can you plzz give me brainliest?
Step-by-step explanation:
number sequence is a list of numbers arranged in a row. Let us look at two examples below.
(i) 4, 6, 1, 10, 14, 5, …
(ii) 4, 7, 10, 13, ….
Number sequence (i) is a list of numbers without order or pattern. You cannot tell what number comes after 5.
Number sequence (ii) has a pattern. Do you observe that each number is obtained by adding 3 to the preceding number (i.e. the number just before it)?
In this section, we will only study number sequences with patterns .
Some other examples of number sequences are:
Number Sequence
Pattern
3, 6, 9, 12, ...
add 3
12, 17, 22, 27, ...
add 5
70, 65, 60, 55, ...
subtract 5
15, 19, 23, 27, …
add 4
81, 27, 9, 3, …
divide by 3
How to Complete Missing Terms In A Number Sequence?
Each of the number in the sequence is called a term.
In order to find the missing terms in a number sequence, we must first find the pattern of the number sequence.
Example :
Find the missing term in the following sequence:
8, , 16, , 24, 28, 32
Solution:
To find the pattern, look closely at 24, 28 and 32. Each term in the number sequence is formed by adding 4 to the preceding number. So, the missing terms are 8 + 4 =12 and 16 + 4 = 20. Check that the pattern is correct for the whole sequence from 8 to 32.
Example :
What is the value of n in the following number sequence?
16, 21, n, 31, 36
Solution:
We find that the number pattern of the sequence is “add 5” to the preceding number. So, n = 21 + 5 = 26
