[tex]==================================[/tex]
the rule for the first sequence is "add 1"
so we add 1 in order to get to the next term.
the rule for the next sequence is "add 5"
here, we add 5 in order to get to the next term.
the rule for the next sequence is "subtract 2"
in this sequence, we subtract 2 every time.
the rule for the next sequence is "add 7"
so we add 7 (13+7 does equal 20):)
the rule for the fifth sequence is "multiply by 2"
so this is a geometric sequence, because we use multiplication in order to get to the next term.
the rule for the sixth sequence is "subtract 6"
- we subtract 6 each time :)
the rule for the 7th sequence is "add 2"
the rule for the 8th sequence is "subtract 3"
the rule for the 9th sequence is "multiply by 7"
