Describe the pattern in the sequence. find the next two terms of the difference -2, -5,-8, -11

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

"-3" is added to a sequence member to get the next number. This next two terms are -14 and  -17

Discussion:

Note that -2 -3 = -5 and

                -5 -3 = -8 and

                -8 - 3 = -11

"-3" is added to a sequence member to get the next number. This implies that the next two terms are -11 -3 = -14 and -14 -3 = -17

Regards,  

MrB

add all the numbers and check the ones place.

the answer is 486. as the ones place is more than 4, the estimation will be the next 10 ie, 490

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
