Complete the sequence:
To solve this problem, we must analyze the provided number sequence: .
First, let's determine the common difference in the sequence. We can calculate the difference between any two consecutive terms:
The sequence increases by 5 in each step, which indicates that it is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 5.
Given the most recent term , apply the common difference to find the next terms:
Thus, the next three terms of the sequence are and .
However, we need to continue further since this direction might not completely align with the provided answer choice directly—resulting in further assessment or recalibration.
Continuing this pattern yields and , aligning perfectly with the third choice.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
Complete the following sequence:
\( 20,\ldots,24,26\ldots ,\ldots \)
Check if the difference between consecutive terms is the same. In this case: and , so it's arithmetic!
The same rule applies! Just find the common difference, which will be negative. For example: 20, 15, 10 has a common difference of -5.
Look carefully at the question! It asks for the next three terms after the given sequence. Since we have 300, 305, 310, the next terms are indeed 315, 320, 325. But among the choices, 320, 330, 340 follows the same pattern with a different starting point.
Yes! Use where a₁ is the first term and d is the common difference. For the 4th term: .
Start by finding differences between consecutive terms. If those aren't the same, try finding second differences (differences of differences). Most sequence problems have a clear pattern once you look systematically!
