Find the next three numbers in the pattern: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36,

49, 64, and 81

Step-by-step explanation: To find the next three terms in this pattern, begin by studying the pattern.

Notice that the difference between 1 and 4 is positive 3, the difference between 4 and 9 is positive 5, the difference between 9 and 16 is positive 7, the difference between 16 and 25 is positive 9, and the difference between 25 and 36 is positive 11.

Since the differences are increasing by 2 each time, we can find the next term in the pattern by adding 36 + 13 to get 49. Next, we will add 49 + 15 to get 64. Then, we will add 64 + 17 to get 81.

Thus, the next three terms in the pattern are 49, 64, and 81.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
