Write the next three terms in this pattern of 5,20,80,320

Answer 1

To find the next three terms in the pattern 5, 20, 80, 320, we can first analyze how the terms are being generated.

• From 5 to 20: multiply by 4 (5 * 4 = 20)
• From 20 to 80: multiply by 4 (20 * 4 = 80)
• From 80 to 320: multiply by 4 (80 * 4 = 320)

It appears that each term is being multiplied by 4 to get the next term. Continuing this pattern:

1. For the next term after 320: \( 320 \times 4 = 1280 \)
2. Next term: \( 1280 \times 4 = 5120 \)
3. Next term: \( 5120 \times 4 = 20480 \)

So, the next three terms in the sequence are 1280, 5120, and 20480.
