Let's analyze the sequence: 82, 45, 42, 35, ...?

Step 1: Observe the Differences

Let's calculate the differences between consecutive terms:

1. $45 - 82 = -37$
2. $42 - 45 = -3$
3. $35 - 42 = -7$

So, the differences between the terms are: -37, -3, -7.

Step 2: Look for Patterns

The differences are negative, but they don't follow a simple arithmetic pattern. However, we can observe that the magnitude of the differences does not consistently
