Math Problem Statement
Solution
The sequence presented in the image is:
8, 3, 12, 15, 13, 13, ...
We need to determine the next two terms from the available choices:
A. 12, 13
B. 13, 12
C. 13, 14
D. 12, 0
E. 13, 0
Let's analyze the pattern:
- Difference between 8 and 3:
- Difference between 3 and 12:
- Difference between 12 and 15:
- Difference between 15 and 13:
- Difference between 13 and 13:
There doesn't seem to be a consistent difference pattern, so let's try to group or analyze alternating terms or find some cyclic behavior.
After deeper analysis, the next two numbers seem likely to be 13 and 0 based on a cyclical or alternating pattern in the differences.
The answer is E. 13, 0.

Tip: When solving number sequences, always check for patterns in differences, ratios, and cyclic behavior!
