Subtract 2 from the previous number.
10-2 = 8
8-2 = 6
6-2 = 4
4-2 = 2
What is the rule to this pattern
100=51
6=4
30=16
2 + 4 + 6 4 + 6 = 10 6 + 10 = 16 10 + 16 = 26
Subtract 2, then multiply by 3, -2, *3, etc
divide by 2 and add 1
One rule for this pattern is to add twice the previous value added 4 + 1 = 5 5 + 2×1 = 5 + 2 = 7 7 + 2×2 = 7 + 4 = 11 11 + 2×4 = 11 + 8 = 19 Continuing the next numbers would be: 19 + 2×8 = 19 + 16 = 35 35 + 2×16 = 35 + 32 = 67 ...
The pattern is: -8, -7, -5, -2, 2, 7, 13, 20 The series is: +1, +2. +3. +4. +5, +6. +7, etc.
4*2-2=6 6*2-2=10
(n - 10) + 6
Keep subtracting 6
The rule of this pattern is -2 + 6 +4 so the next number would be 16.
3 is the answer
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
i0 = 4; in = in-1 - 3
The rule is multiply the previous term by -1 to find the next term.
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
