Math Problem Statement
Use the rule 'Multiply by 2' to continue the pattern. Choose one number in each box. Sequence: 8, 16, 32, ...
Solution
The problem asks to extend the sequence using the rule "Multiply by 2." Let's solve this:
-
Start with the given sequence:
-
Multiply the last number by :
-
Multiply by to find the next number:
Thus, the next two numbers in the sequence are 64 and 128.
Correct answers:
- First box:
- Second box:

- What is a geometric sequence, and how is it different from an arithmetic sequence?
- How can we write the formula for the -th term of this sequence?
- If the sequence starts at 4 instead of 8, what will the next numbers be?
- How would the pattern change if the rule was "Add 8" instead of "Multiply by 2"?
- Can you identify any applications of such exponential growth patterns in real life?
Tip: When dealing with patterns, always verify the rule consistently across all elements of the sequence.
