2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ,

Is 66 and 70 the next two numbers for this pattern?

No.

Each number is double the number before it.

64 is double 32, etc.

What is 2 * 64?

I see now. Thanks Ms. sue

You're welcome, Trish.

To determine if 66 and 70 are the next two numbers in the pattern, let's first try to identify the pattern itself.

Looking at the given sequence: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ,

One way to determine the pattern is by observing the relationship between consecutive terms. Let's calculate the ratio between each pair of consecutive terms:

4 / 2 = 2
8 / 4 = 2
16 / 8 = 2
32 / 16 = 2
64 / 32 = 2

We see that each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2. Therefore, we can conclude that the pattern is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2.

Now, to find the missing terms, we can continue the pattern by multiplying the last term by 2:

64 * 2 = 128

Thus, the two missing terms in the sequence are 128 and, since you mentioned 66 and 70, let's check if they fit the pattern:

128 / 64 = 2

66 / 32 = 2.06

70 / 32 = 2.19

As we can see, neither 66 nor 70 fits the pattern as they do not result in a common ratio of 2. Therefore, 66 and 70 are not the next two numbers in this particular pattern.
