There are infinitely many pattern rules. It is easy to find a rule based on a polynomial of order 4 such that the first four numbers are as listed in the question followed by any number that you choose to be the next one. There are also non-polynomial solutions. Short of reading the mind of the person who posed the question, there is no way of determining which of the infinitely many solutions is the "correct" one.
The simplest solution, based on a polynomial of order 3 is
t(n) = 1.5*(-n^3 + 12n^2 - 26n + 21) for n = 1, 2, 3, ...

What is the pattern rule for this pattern 12-16-15-19?
from 12 to 16 is 4 then from 16 to fiftine is one then from15-19 is 4 so one so forth one is +4 the next is -1
What is the pattern rule for 4-6-10-18-30-42-60 pattern?
4*2-2=6 6*2-2=10
What number comes next in this pattern 4 2 8 12 10?
The rule of this pattern is -2 + 6 +4 so the next number would be 16.
What is the pattern rule for 4 -4 4 -4 pattern?
The rule is multiply the previous term by -1 to find the next term.
What is a pattern rule -4?
A pattern rule is a mathematical expression that describes the relationship between the input and output values in a sequence or pattern. In the context of the number -4, it could represent a pattern rule where each successive number is decreased by 4. For example, if the pattern rule is -4, the sequence could be 10, 6, 2, -2, and so on, where each number is 4 less than the previous one.
