Q. Type the missing numbers in this sequence:, , , , , ,
- Determine Pattern: We need to determine the pattern in the sequence to find the missing numbers. Let's look at the numbers we have: . It seems that the sequence is decreasing, but we need to find the exact difference between the numbers.
- Find Differences: Let's find the difference between the consecutive numbers that we have: , . It appears that the sequence decreases by each time. However, we notice that the difference between and is only . This suggests that the pattern might alternate between subtracting and subtracting .
- Confirm Pattern: To confirm the pattern, let's check the difference between and : . This confirms that the pattern is to subtract , then subtract , and repeat. Now we can use this pattern to find the missing numbers.
- Find Missing Numbers: The first missing number comes after . According to the pattern, we should subtract : . But since is already the next number in the sequence, we must have made a mistake. The pattern is not simply subtracting each time; it alternates between subtracting and subtracting . We need to correct this.
