find a patternin the following sequences and write the next two terms. classify each seqences as arithmetic geometic or neither 1,4,16,64, and 3,6,9,12
1,4,16,64…. | |
The next number can be calculated by multiplying the previous number by (r = 4/1 = 4) or (16/4) or (64/16) | |
Second number (1*4) | 4 |
Third number (4*4) | 16 |
Fourth number (16*4) | 64 |
Fifth number (64*4) | 256 |
Sixth number (256*4) | 1,024 |
1,4,16,64,256,1024…. This is a geometic sequences. | Geometic |
Geometic sequences is calcualuted by multiplication. | |
3,6,9,12….. | |
The next number can be calculated by adding the previous number by (d = 6 - 3 = 3) or (9-6) or (12-9) | |
Second number (3+3) | 6 |
Third number (6+3) | 9 |
Fourth number (9+3) | 12 |
Fifth number (12+3) | 15 |
Sixth number (15+3) | 18 |
3,6,9,12,15,18….. This is a arithmetic sequences. | Arithmetic |
Arithmetic sequences is calcualuted by addition. |
