What are the next three terms in the sequence?
-6, 5, 16, 27,...
A. 38, 49, 60
B. 37, 47, 57
C. 36, 45, 54
D. 36, 46, 57
- 6 + 11 = 5
5 + 11 = 16
16 + 11 = 27
Shat do you think the next three terms are?
To find the next three terms in the sequence -6, 5, 16, 27, we must look for a pattern in the terms. The difference between consecutive terms is increasing by 11 each time: 5 - (-6) = 11, 16 - 5 = 11, 27 - 16 = 11.
To find the next term after 27, we add 11 to it: 27 + 11 = 38.
Therefore, the next term in the sequence is 38.
To find the term after 38, we add another 11: 38 + 11 = 49.
Lastly, to find the term after 49, we add 11 once again: 49 + 11 = 60.
Therefore, the next three terms in the sequence are 38, 49, and 60.
The answer is A. 38, 49, 60.
