Question

Use the rule to write the first five terms of the pattern.

rule: add 10, subtract 5
first term:11

Answer 1

16, 21, 26, 31, 36
just add five to each previous number to make it easier :)

Answer 2

A =First term of the pattern = 11

To find the first five terms we have to use the rule which is

Add 10 to first term and then subtract 5 from it.Which is equivalent to

= A +10 -5

1. Second Term = 11 + 10 -5

= 21 - 5

=16

→Third term = 16 +10-5

= 26 - 5

= 21

→Fourth term : 21 + 10 - 5

= 31 -5

= 26

→Fifth term : 26 +10 -5

= 36- 5

= 31

→Sixth term:

=31 + 10- 5

= 41 -5

= 36

So, the first five term apart from 11 is 16, 21,26,31,36 which is an Airthmetic progression.
