Math Problem Statement

Write the general rule for each sequence and use it to find the next term in each sequence: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8,...; 3, 6, 9, 12, 15,...; 4, 8, 12, 16, 20,...; 2, 22, 222, 2222,...; 1, 4, 9, 16,...; 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8,...

Solution

The image contains a series of mathematical exercises in Arabic, focusing on identifying patterns in sequences and completing them. Below is a breakdown and solution for each sequence:

  1. Sequence 14: 0,2,4,6,8,0, 2, 4, 6, 8, \dots

    • This is an arithmetic sequence where each term increases by 2.
    • The next term is 8+2=108 + 2 = 10.
  2. Sequence 15: 3,6,9,12,15,3, 6, 9, 12, 15, \dots

    • This sequence increases by 3 each time.
    • The next term is 15+3=1815 + 3 = 18.
  3. Sequence 16: 4,8,12,16,20,4, 8, 12, 16, 20, \dots

    • Each term increases by 4.
    • The next term is 20+4=2420 + 4 = 24.
  4. Sequence 17: 2,22,222,2222,2, 22, 222, 2222, \dots

    • The pattern is formed by adding an extra "2" to the number.
    • The next term is 2222222222.
  5. Sequence 18: 1,4,9,16,1, 4, 9, 16, \dots

    • These are squares of natural numbers: 12,22,32,421^2, 2^2, 3^2, 4^2.
    • The next term is 52=255^2 = 25.
  6. Sequence 19: 1,12,14,18,1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{8}, \dots

    • This is a geometric sequence where each term is multiplied by 12\frac{1}{2}.
    • The next term is 116\frac{1}{16}.
