Determine the Next Numbers: Completing 100,000, 200,000, ...

Question

Complete the sequence:

100,000, 200,000,  100{,}000,\ 200{,}000, \ \ldots

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to extend the given sequence 100,000,200,000, 100,000, 200,000, \ldots .

First, we observe the given numbers:

  • The first term of the sequence is 100,000 100,000 .
  • The second term of the sequence is 200,000 200,000 .

Next, we find the common difference (d d ) between consecutive terms:

d=200,000100,000=100,000 d = 200,000 - 100,000 = 100,000 .

This tells us that each term increases by 100,000 100,000 .

Using the pattern established, we can find the next terms in the sequence:

  • The third term: 200,000+100,000=300,000 200,000 + 100,000 = 300,000 .
  • The fourth term: 300,000+100,000=400,000 300,000 + 100,000 = 400,000 .
  • The fifth term: 400,000+100,000=500,000 400,000 + 100,000 = 500,000 .

Therefore, the next terms in the sequence are 300,000,400,000,500,000 300,000, 400,000, 500,000 .

Given the choices, the correct sequence that matches this pattern is choice 3.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 300,000,400,000,500,000 300,000, 400,000, 500,000 .

Answer

300,000, 400,000, 500,000 300{,}000,\ 400{,}000, \ 500{,}000
