World
Application. Perform what is being asked in each
statement and write your answer/s on the space
provided for each number.

1. Determine the next number to 12, 15, 18, 21.

2. Describe the pattern in the sequence and find the

next three terms, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25
Pattern: The Pattern of this Fibonacci sequence is
that each number has two intervals in them.
Therefore, to get the next term is just add 2 from
the last term of the sequence.

3. How many of these sequences have a common difference of -4?

-19, -15, -11, -7, -3, …
19, 15, 11, 7, 3, …
3, 7, 11, 15, 19, …
-3, 7, -11, 15, -19, …
Answer: Only 1 sequence
4. In the sequence 700, 70, 7, 0.7, 0.07, what is the next term?
Answer: 0.007

5. What is the next term in the sequence O, T, T, F, F, ____?

Answer: S
