Answer:
9 and 8 are linear and 10 is non linear
Explanation:
an = dn - c
The an stands for the nth term of the pattern. So a1 is the first term and a2 is the second term of the pattern. The d is the difference between each of the terms. The n stands for the term you're calculating. If you're calculating the third term, then n is 3. And c is a constant that you'll need to calculate.
For example, the linear number pattern of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, … has an equation of:
an = 2n - 1.
