Question

Find the next 3 terms of the following sequences a.4,9, 16,25 b.1,4,9, 16 c.1,4,7,10 d.3,9, 15, 21​

Answer 1

Answers:

• (a) 36, 49, 64
• (b) 25, 36, 49
• (c) 13, 16, 19
• (d) 27, 33, 39

========================================================

Explanations:

• (a) The given terms 4,9,16,25 are perfect squares (eg: 16 = 4^2 and 5^2 = 25). The next set of perfect squares are 6^2 = 36, 7^2 = 49 and 8^2 = 64.
• (b) Similar to the previous part. This time the next three terms are 25, 36, and 49 because 5^2 = 25, 6^2 = 36 and 7^2 = 49.
• (c) We start at 1 and add 3 each time. This sequence is arithmetic. The next term after 10 is 10+3 = 13. After that is 13+3 = 16. Finally 16+3 = 19 is the last term we need.
• (d) Similar to part (c) earlier. This time we start at 3 and add 6 each time. The next three terms are 21+6 = 27, and 27+6 = 33, and finally 33+6 = 39

Answer 2

for a) the next three would be 36, 49 and 64

for b) the next three would be 25, 36 and 49

for c) the next three would be 13, 16, and 19

for d) the next three would be 27, 33, and 39
