Math Problem Statement
Solution
The sequence provided in the image is:
22, 44, 132, 528, 2640, 15840, 110880, ..., ...
Let's analyze this pattern to determine the next number.
Step 1: Determine the pattern
We observe the differences or ratios between consecutive terms:
Thus, the next ratio is increasing by 1. The next term should be multiplied by 8.
Step 2: Calculate the next term
The next number is:
Step 3: Verify answer choices
Based on the options, the number 887040 appears in options A, D, and E. Now let's determine the number that follows 887040 by multiplying by 9:
Final Answer:
Option E: .
Do you want more details on the calculation? Here are five related questions for practice:
- Can you find the 9th term in the sequence if the 8th is ?
- What is the general formula for this type of sequence?
- How can you extend this sequence further?
- How would the sequence change if we altered the multiplication factors?
- What are the applications of this type of sequence in real-world scenarios?
Tip: When solving sequences, always check if the pattern involves a constant difference or ratio between terms. This can guide you to the correct next steps.
