Question

Part 1: describe the pattern of the following sequence.

part 2: what is the next term in the sequence.

Answer 1

n^2, alternating between circles and squares.
the next term is 16 squares.

Answer 2

Pattern is square of nth term and

16 squares are the next term.

Explanation:

Here we can see that first figure has 1 dot

then second figure had 4 squares

third figure has 9 dots .

so its square of the nth term

nth term will be given by
`n^(2)`

for next term we shall plug n =4 which gives

`4^(2)` =16

16 squares will be the next term in the sequence
