Answer:

Explanation:

To complete the sequence, we need to find the missing numbers that fit the pattern.

Looking at the given numbers, we can see that each number is obtained by adding a constant value to the previous number.

To find this constant value, we can calculate the differences between consecutive numbers in the sequence:

8 - 0 = 8

15 - 8 = 7

24 - 15 = 9

So the constant difference between consecutive terms in the sequence is not the same. Therefore, we can assume that this is not an arithmetic sequence.

However, we can observe that the sequence follows a pattern of adding increasing odd numbers to the previous term:

0 + 1 = 1

1 + 7 = 8

8 + 7 = 15

15 + 9 = 24

So the missing numbers in the sequence are 1 and 33.

Therefore, the completed sequence is:

0, 1, 8, 15, 24, 33.
