What are the next 3 terms of 1,3,9,2,7
The given sequence is 1, 3, 9, 2, 7.
To find the next terms, we can look for patterns in the sequence:
From the first two terms, we can see that each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a certain number. In this case, each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 3.
1 * 3 = 3
3 * 3 = 9
From the third and fourth terms, we can see that each term alternates between an increasing and decreasing pattern. In this case, the third term increases by 6 and the fourth term decreases by 5.
9 + 6 = 15
2 - 5 = -3
Therefore, the next three terms in the sequence are 15, -3, and 12.
1, 3, 9, 2, 7, 15, -3, 12
