Math Problem Statement
What is the next two missing numbers in this sequence:12,14 11,14 9,17 ,?
Solution
To find the next two missing numbers in the sequence , we need to analyze the pattern.
Let's look at the two numbers in each pair separately:
-
First Numbers in Each Pair: 12, 11, 9,
- To see a pattern, subtract each number from the previous one:
- The differences are increasing by 1 each time.
- To find the next difference, add 1 to the last difference (which is 2): .
So, the next difference is 3. Subtracting 3 from the last number (9):
The next first number is 6.
-
Second Numbers in Each Pair: 14, 14, 17,
- Check the differences between the second numbers:
- The difference here is first 0, then 3.
- To find a pattern, it seems the numbers increase by 3 after staying the same:
Continuing this pattern (adding 3 again):
The next second number is 20.
So, the next two missing numbers in the sequence are 6, 20.
