. Find the next three terms in the sequence.
30, 22, 14, 6, . . .
• –3, –12, –21
• –1, –8, –15
• –1, –2, 3
• –2, –10, –18
–2, –10, –18
To find the next three terms in the sequence, we need to observe the pattern and identify the rule governing the sequence.
Looking at the given sequence, we can see that each term decreases by 8 from the previous term. So, the rule can be expressed as subtracting 8 from each term to get the next term.
Using this rule, we can find the next term after 6:
6 - 8 = -2
Now, we can continue applying the rule to find the next two terms:
-2 - 8 = -10
-10 - 8 = -18
Therefore, the next three terms in the sequence are -2, -10, and -18.
So, the correct answer is:
-2, -10, -18
To find the next three terms in the sequence, we need to identify the pattern. By subtracting 8 from each term, we get the sequence:
22 - 8 = 14
14 - 8 = 6
6 - 8 = -2
So the next three terms in the sequence are: -2, -10, -18.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
• -2, -10, -18.
