Complete the Sequence: Finding the Pattern in 4,580, 4,570, 4,560,...

Question

Complete the sequence:

4,580, 4,570, 4,560,  4{,}580,\ 4{,}570,\ 4{,}560, \ \ldots

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the difference between each given term in the sequence.
  • Step 2: Confirm this difference is consistent across the initial sequence.
  • Step 3: Use this pattern to determine the next terms.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Calculate the difference between the first two terms: 45804570=10 4580 - 4570 = 10 .

Step 2: Confirm the difference between the next terms is the same: 45704560=10 4570 - 4560 = 10 . This confirms a constant decrement of 10.

Step 3: Continue the sequence using this pattern:

  • The next term is 456010=4550 4560 - 10 = 4550 .
  • The following term is 455010=4540 4550 - 10 = 4540 .
  • The final term in this sequence is 454010=4530 4540 - 10 = 4530 .

The next three terms in the sequence are 4550,4540,4530 4550, 4540, 4530 .

Therefore, the correct answer according to the provided choices is: 4550,4540,4530 4550, 4540, 4530 , which corresponds to choice 4.

Answer

4,550, 4,540, 4,530 4{,}550,\ 4{,}540,\ 4{,}530
