What would Excel predict as additional entries if the first two cells had the following data: −1,

Question

−5?
(1 point)
−6, −7, −8
−9, −13, −17
−4, −3, −2
−1, 3, 7

Answer 1

Given the initial values of -1 and -5, we can analyze the differences between these two values:

• The difference between -1 and -5 is -4.

If we continue this pattern by subtracting 4 from the last entry, the next value would be -5 - 4 = -9. Continuing this pattern, the subsequent values would be:

• -9
• -9 - 4 = -13
• -13 - 4 = -17

Thus, the sequence created by continuing with that pattern would be -9, -13, -17.

Based on this analysis, the additional entries that Excel would predict are:

−9, −13, −17.
