There are infinitely many ways to continue the pattern but I am not sure any of them actually finishes it.

The simplest, linear rule is

Un = 28 - 4*n for n = 1, 2, 3, ... but that does not "finish" it since it goes on forever.

Or, you could fit the cubic:

Un = (8x3 - 48x2 + 76x + 36)/3 for n = 1, 2, 3, ... but that also does not "finish" it.
