Number Sequences and Patterns

A sequence is described by the rule :

Begin with '2' then add '3' to the preceding term to get the next term.

List the first four terms of the sequence.

• 2, 4, 6, 8

• 2, 5, 8, 11

• 3, 5, 7, 9

• 3, 6, 9, 12

Write down the next term in the number sequence below.

17, 14, 11, 8, 5, . . .

Write down the fifth term in the number sequence below.

1, -6, -13, -20, . . .

Write down the missing term in the number sequence below.

-1, ____, -16, 64, -256, 1024

Given that the n^th term, T_n , of a sequence is

T_n = 2n + 5,

write down the value of the 8^th term.
