Hello bj,

These question are quite simple if u are able to understand the logic behind them..

Here goes the solution to all ur questions.

Question 1: find the next three terms of each sequence.
a); 2, -4, 8, -16 , 32, -64, 128

Question 2: the first terim in a sequence and the pattern are given. Write the next four terms of each sequence.

a): 4x - 24; add 2

solution: the next four terms are: 4x - 22, 4x - 20, 4x - 18, 4x - 16

b): 7r+5; subtract r+2

solution: the next four terms are: 6r + 3, 5r + 1, 4r - 1, 3r - 3

c): 2a; multiple by 3a

solution: The next four terms are: , , ,

Hence, the solution.
