How Do You Extend a Sequence by Multiplying?

How Do You Extend a Sequence by Multiplying?

Note:

A sequence of numbers follows a pattern. If you can find that pattern, you can find more numbers in the sequence! In this tutorial, you'll see how to find the next terms in a sequence by first identifying the pattern of that sequence.

      How Do You Find the Next Terms in an Arithmetic Sequence?

      To find the next few terms in an arithmetic sequence, you first need to find the common difference, the constant amount of change between numbers in an arithmetic sequence. Once you know the common difference, you can use it to find those next terms! This tutorial takes you through that process, so be sure to check it out!
