Question
Look at the pattern: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, ...
What is the next term in the pattern?
- 96
- 84
- 74
- 62
Hint:
This pattern is different than the previous two examples. Here, each term is multiplied by 2 to get the next term.
Therefore, the next term will be 48 × 2 or 96.
The correct answer is: 96
In the question we were given with a pattern and asked to find the next term of the pattern we can do that by carefully observing the given pattern
In the solution first we found the general equation of the pattern and then found the next term = 96
