This is referred to as a geometric progression - as opposed to an arithmetic progression, where each new number is achieved via addition or subtraction.

What comes after Tredecuple?

After "tredecuple," which refers to a quantity multiplied by 13, the next term in the sequence of multipliers is "quattuordecuple," which represents a quantity multiplied by 14. This naming convention follows the Latin roots for numbers, where each prefix corresponds to the numerical value in order.


What is the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric sequence?

In an arithmetic sequence the same number (positive or negative) is added to each term to get to the next term.In a geometric sequence the same number (positive or negative) is multiplied into each term to get to the next term.A geometric sequence uses multiplicative and divisive formulas while an arithmetic uses additive and subtractive formulas.


What is the next number in the sequence 125 -25 5 -1....?

This is a geometric sequence. Each number is multiplied by the same constant, to get the next number. If you divide any number by the previous one, you can find out what this constant is.


what is the pattern in 5,10,20,40.... is it multiply by 2?

Yes, each number is multiplied by 2 therefore the next 2 numbers in the sequence would be 80 & 160

What comes next 44 22 88 44 176 88?

Well, honey, it looks like we're doubling the number each time. So, following that pattern, the next number should be 352. But who knows, life is full of surprises, just like my love life in the '80s.


How do you find the next three terms in the sequence -4 -8 -16 -32?

The sequence is a geometric progression where each term is multiplied by -2 to get the next term. Starting with -4, the next terms can be calculated as follows: -4 × -2 = 8, -8 × -2 = 16, and -16 × -2 = 32. Therefore, the next three terms are 64, 128, and 256.


What is the next number in the sequence 7 -14 28 -56?

The sequence alternates between positive and negative numbers, with each number being multiplied by -2 to get the next number. Starting with 7: 7 * -2 = -14, -14 * -2 = 28, 28 * -2 = -56. Therefore, the next number would be -56 * -2 = 112.


What are the next three terms in the sequence 2 -6 18 -54?

The pattern looks like the previous number is multiplied by -3, hence the next number in the sequence would be (-54) x (-3) = 162
