The phrase "first difference" is usually associated with a sequence of numbers: a(1), a(2), a(3), a(4), ... . The sequence may have a simple rule for generating the numbers , a complicated rule or, if it is a random sequence, no rule at all.The sequence of first differences is a(2)-a(1), a(3)-a(2), a(4)-a(3), ...
A number sequence is an ordered set of numbers. There can be a rule such that the next number in the sequence can be determined by the values of some or all of the preceding terms in the sequence. However, the sequence for a random walk illustrates that such a rule is not necessary to define a sequence.
A single number, such as 12631.5, does not make a sequence.
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.
Without further terms in the sequence, it is impossible to determine what the rule in the sequence is.
multiply by 3, then multiply by 2 and repeat

As given, the sequence is too short to establish the generating rule. If the second term was 19 and NOT 29, then the nth term is tn = 6*n + 7 or 6(n+1)+1
Q: What is the rule that states the sequence to be used when evaluating expressions? A: The rule that states the sequence to be used when evaluating expressions is know as the "order of operations."
It is the description of a rule which describes how the terms of a sequence are defined in terms of their position in the sequence.
A number sequence is an ordered set of numbers. There can be a rule such that the next number in the sequence can be determined by the values of some or all of the preceding terms in the sequence. However, the sequence for a random walk illustrates that such a rule is not necessary to define a sequence.
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 single number, such as 2511141720 does not make a sequence!
You need the rule that generates the sequence.
No. It is a sequence for which the rule is a quadratic expression.
