Example Question #196 : Number Series*
Give the missing term in the following sequence:
The pattern is as follows: add 2, multiply by 2, subtract 2; add 3, multiply by 3, subtract 3; keep working this same sequence of operations with consecutive whole numbers. Examine below:
Multiply by 4 to fill in the blank:
Continuing the pattern, we see this is correct:
Example Question #194 : Number Series*
Give the missing term in the following sequence:
Subtract 1, then 2, then 3, and so forth; the amount subtracted increases by 1 each time, as shown:
Subtract 6 to get the missing term:
Continuing the pattern, we confirm this is correct:
Example Question #195 : Number Series*
Give the missing term in the following sequence:
Alternately add 4 and 8 to each term, as follows:
Add 4 to get the missing term:
Continuing the pattern, we see this is correct:
Example Question #196 : Number Series*
Give the missing term in the following sequence:
The terms of the sequence are obtained by alternately multiplying by and subtracting 5, as seen below:
Multiply by to obtain the next term:
Continuing the pattern, we see that this is correct:
