To identify the pattern in the sequence –5, –10, –20, –40, we can observe how each number relates to the preceding number.
1. First, look at the relationship between consecutive numbers:
- –10 is obtained by multiplying –5 by 2 (–5 * 2 = –10).
- –20 is obtained by multiplying –10 by 2 (–10 * 2 = –20).
- –40 is obtained by multiplying –20 by 2 (–20 * 2 = –40).
Based on this pattern, each number in the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 2.
2. To find the next two numbers:
- The next number after –40 is –40 * 2 = –80.
- The number after that is –80 * 2 = –160.
Therefore, the next two numbers in the pattern are –80 and –160.
