Find two possible next terms of a sequence 2, 8, , that is neither geometric nor arithmetic.

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of these numbers is 6, so the next two terms of an arithmetic sequence would be 8+6 = 14, and 14+6 = 20.

The ratio of these numbers is 4, so the next two terms of a geometric sequence would be 8×4 = 32, and 32×4 = 128.

Any pair of numbers can be used that is not (14, 20) or (32, 128).

The next two terms could be 0 and 1, or they could be 14 and 32.

  2, 8, 0, 1 . . . is a sequence of no particular type

  2, 8, 14, 32 . . . is a sequence of no particular type

828. all there is to it!

thats the rounding one, but if you just click the top left, it shows you all the calculators you may need!
