4*2-2=6 6*2-2=10
(n - 10) + 6
The rule of this pattern is -2 + 6 +4 so the next number would be 16.
3 is the answer
To guess a rule for a pattern, you need several numbers, not just one. Of course, you can invent any rule, for example, "all numbers in the sequence are equal to -4", or some more complicated rule.
4*2-2=6 6*2-2=10
(n - 10) + 6
The rule of this pattern is -2 + 6 +4 so the next number would be 16.

The pattern will be +2, +3, +4, +4
+2, +3, +2
t(n) = 3(n-1) + 1, for n = 1, 2, 3, etc
add 6, subtract 2
A rule for a pattern is a specific guideline or formula that describes how the elements in the pattern are organized or change. For example, in a numerical pattern like 2, 4, 6, 8, the rule is to add 2 to the previous number. Identifying the rule helps predict subsequent elements in the pattern.
i0 = 4; in = in-1 - 3
Homework question: The first numbetr is 4. A rule is multiply by 2 and then subtract 3. What are the first 6 numbers in the pattern
