Look for a relationship between consecutive terms.
Pattern: Multiply the previous term by - 2. Next Two Terms: 48, -96
Practice makes perfect
We are given a sequence and want to describe the pattern and find the next two terms.
3,-6,12,-24,...As we can notice from the sequence, each term is the product of the previous term and -2. We can describe the pattern as multiply the previous term by - 2.
3*( -2) ⟶-6*( -2) ⟶12*( -2) ⟶-24*( -2) ⟶...
The next two terms can be found by extending the pattern.
3*( -2) ⟶-6*( -2) ⟶12*( -2) ⟶-24*( -2) ⟶ 48*( -2) ⟶ -96
