Write a rule for the sequence. Then find the next three terms.

24, 27, 30, 33, . . .
A. Start with 24 and add 3 repeatedly; 36, 39, 42
B. Start with 3 and add 24 repeatedly; 57, 81, 105
C. Start with 3 and add 24 repeatedly; 36, 39, 42
D. Start with 24 and add 3 repeatedly; 57, 81, 105

Answer 1

The next three terms of the sequence –4, –8, –16, –32, . . . are:

E. -64, -128, -256

To get each term, you multiply the previous term by -2.

A rule for the sequence 24, 27, 30, 33, . . . is:

D. Start with 24 and add 3 repeatedly; 36, 39, 42

To get each term, you add 3 to the previous term.
