What are the seventh and eighth terms of the sequence?
The sequence provided is:
_ , _ , 6 , 16 , 8 , 18 , 10 , 20, ...
Upon analyzing the sequence, we can identify alternating patterns for the terms based on their positions:
Step-by-step solution:
Therefore, the seventh and eighth terms of the sequence are and .
4 , 14
12 ☐ 10 ☐ 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Which numbers are missing from the sequence so that the sequence has a term-to-term rule?
Look at the positions! When you see terms like 6, 16, 8, 18, 10, 20, notice that odd positions (6, 8, 10) and even positions (16, 18, 20) each follow their own pattern.
Try separating the sequence by position first. Write out odd positions: 6, 8, 10... and even positions: 16, 18, 20... Then look for patterns within each group.
The explanation shows some confusion, but based on the pattern: 7th term (odd position) should be 12, and 8th term (even position) should be 22. The answer key appears to have an error or missing context.
Work backwards using the same patterns! If odd positions go 6, 8, 10... then the 1st term would be 4. If even positions go 16, 18, 20... then the 2nd term would be 14.
Yes! Some alternate between addition and multiplication, or between different arithmetic patterns. Always look at position-based groupings first when you suspect alternation.
