Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you have uploaded contains a sequence of numbers and a recurrence relation. Let's break down what is present:
-
Number sequence:
0, 2, 4, 6, 8, _ _
- It appears to be an arithmetic progression where the difference between each term is+2
. -
Recurrence relation: You’ve written something that resembles a recurrence relation, specifically: This means that each term is determined by multiplying the previous term by (where could represent the position in the sequence).
Completing the sequence:
The sequence 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
increases by 2 each time. Therefore, to fill in the blanks:
- After 8, the next number would be 10 (since ).
- After 10, the next number would be 12 (since ).
Recap:
The completed sequence is:

- How do you formally define an arithmetic progression?
- What is a general formula for the -th term of an arithmetic sequence?
- How does a recurrence relation work in generating sequences?
- Can this pattern be modeled with a different type of sequence, like geometric progression?
- How can you solve for unknown terms if the common difference is not given?
Tip: Arithmetic sequences can always be identified by a constant difference between consecutive terms.
