Best Answer

Since a given sequence of numbers can be designed to follow any rule, you have to use a system of trial and error to see if you can discover the rule. Sometimes the rule is obvious, sometimes it is extremely complicated. Try to invent a rule which would produce the sequence that you observe.

What is the rule in generating a sequence?

Anything you like. You specify whatever rule you like and the resulting set of numbers is the sequence based on that rule.


What does sequential patterns mean in math?

A sequence is an ordered set of numbers. There may be a rule governing the sequence such that, if you know the numbers in the sequence up to a particular point, the rule will allow you to deduce the value of the next number in the sequence. That rule - if it exists - is the sequential pattern.


A sequence of numbers was generated using the rule 3N minus 2 where n represents a numbers position in the sequence. Write a sequence that fits this rule?

What is the difference between an arithmetic series and an arithmetic sequence?

An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers which follow a rule. A series is the sum of a sequence of numbers.


Which rule will find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence -58 -65 -72 -86?

It appears that a number of -79 is missing in the sequence and so if you meant -58 -65 -72 -79 -86 then the nth term is -7n-51 which makes 6th term in the sequence -93


What is the rule for this sequence of numbers 2 3 5 7?

Those are the first four prime numbers.


Example of rule method?

The rule method is used to describe any set of numbers, so put any sequence of numbers in brackets and there you go.


What are the sequence?

A sequence is an ordered set. They may consist of numbers or letters, there may or may not be a rule (for example, in a random sequence), it may be finite or infinite.


How do you find the 50th term in a number sequence?

You first have to figure out some rule for the sequence. This can be quite tricky.

What is a geometric rule for pattern?

Not sure about this question. But, a geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the ratio of any two consecutive numbers is a constant, known as the "common ratio". A geometric sequence consists of a set of numbers of the form a, ar, ar2, ar3, ... arn, ... where r is the common ratio.


What type of sequence is 4 10 24 52 100 174?

It is a finite numerical sequence and according to Wittgenstein's Finite Rule Paradox every finite sequence of numbers can be a described in infinitely many ways - some simple, some complicated but all equally valid. The simplest rule here is a cubic rule.
