What is a pattern rule -4?

Answer 1

A pattern rule is a mathematical expression that describes the relationship between the input and output values in a sequence or pattern. In the context of the number -4, it could represent a pattern rule where each successive number is decreased by 4. For example, if the pattern rule is -4, the sequence could be 10, 6, 2, -2, and so on, where each number is 4 less than the previous one.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

A single number cannot be a pattern rule.
