Question

A group of numbers arranged in a specific order is called a sequence. Create two groups of numbers- one that can be classified as a sequence and another that cannot. Use complete sentences to differentiate between the two groups of numbers. In your final answer, include both groups of numbers and your explanation.

Answer 1

1, 3, 6, 7, 9...

1, 4, 8, 7, 11...

Explanation:

(1, 3, 6, 7, 9...)

This one is the sequence because it follows a specific pattern, which is 2n-1, or (2 x figure number) - 1. 1x2-1=1. 2x2-1=3. 3x2-1=7. And so on.

(1, 4, 8, 7, 11...)

This one, no matter how you look at it, has no pattern. Its not a proper sequence of numbers.
