Question
Hi Richard, can you help figure out the following patterns:
1/8, 2/7, 1/2, 4/5, ____, ____
-5, 3, -2, 1, -1, 0, ____, ____
1, 5, 14, 30, 55 ____, ____
Thanks so much, need ASAP, figured out all the rest except for these!!!! Thanks again.
I'm still working on the first one.
for the second one, the sum of the first two numbers gives you the third number, the sum of numbers 2 and 3 give you the fourth one, etc, so you have -1,0,-1,-1
for the third one, 5-1 = 2^2, 14-5 = 3^2, 30-14 = 4^2, 55-30 = 5^2 so the next two numbers are
91 and 140

| Comment | Richard Raridon is the BEST!!! I sent him my inquiry at night before going to bed, not ever thinking I would have a response by very early in the a.m. I am so thankful for his wisdom, and appreciate that he shares it with the rest of us who are not as brilliant as he is!!! Thanks again Richard, you're a lifesaver. | ||
