Question

In numb3rs, they use math to solve crimes. One of the ways they use Math is to reveal patterns. What is the pattern in this sequence? What would be the first and last numbers be? (6, 14, 30, 62, 126)

Answer 1

Explanation:

I think the first number is 2

Then 2 x 2 = 4 so there is a difference of 4 number

Then in between 6 and 14 there is a difference of 8 so 4 x 2 = 8

Then 16 so 8 x 2 = 16

So after 126 the number is 254
