Question

15. Use inductive reasoning to describe the pattern. Then find the next two numbers in the pattern.

-9, -4, 1, 6, ...

Answer 1

11, 16

Explanation:

the difference between -4 and -9, 1 and -4, 6 and 1 is 5...so add 5 to 6 = 11

then 11 + 5 = 16

Answer 2

11,16

Explanation:

We are adding 5 each time

-9+5 = -4

-4+5 =1

To find the next two terms

6+5 =11

11+5 = 16
