Answer:
Pattern rule tells us the start number of pattern and how the pattern continues.
For instance, 5, 8, 11, 14 , 15....
Step-by-step explanation:
Pattern rule tells us the start number of pattern and how the pattern continues.
For instance, 5, 8, 11, 14 , 15....
In the above sequence, it starts with 5 and add 3.
Here the common difference between each successive term is 3.
The rule = first + 3
Let's take "a1" is the first term. "n" is the number of terms, "d" is the common difference
an = a1 + (n-1)d
Here a1 = 5
Let's find the second term, n = 2
a2 = 5 + (2 -1)d
a2 = 5 + (1)(3)
a2 = 8
Similarly, we can find the other terms using the rule
an = a1 + (n-1)d
Hope this will helpful.
Thank you.
