Answer:

To find the next two terms in the sequence, we need to look for a pattern.

The first term is 15, and each subsequent term is obtained by subtracting 1 from the previous term, then subtracting 3, then subtracting 5, and so on. So we can write the sequence as:


15, 14, 14-3, 14-3-5, 14-3-5-7, 14-3-5-7-9, ...

Simplifying, we get:


15, 14, 11, 6, 1, -4, ...

Therefore, the next two terms in the sequence are 1 and -4.


Hope
it
helps!
