Exercise 17 Page 279

Look for a relationship between consecutive terms.

Pattern: Multiply the previous term by 2.
Next Two Terms: 72, 144

Practice makes perfect
We are given a sequence, want to describe the pattern, and find the next two terms. 4.5, 9, 18, 36,...

As we can notice from the sequence, each term is equal to the previous term times 2. We can describe the pattern as multiply by 2 the previous term. 4.5* 2 âź¶9* 2 âź¶18* 2 âź¶36* 2 âź¶... The next two terms can be found by extending the pattern. 4.5* 2 âź¶9* 2 âź¶18* 2 âź¶36* 2 âź¶ 72* 2 âź¶ 144
