You generated a pattern using the rule “multiplied by 2 then subtract by 1”. You started from the number 2. What are the first five terms of your pattern?
really?
2, 3, 5, ...
sorrry but start at 18 and creat a pattern with the rule add 2 subtract 4
2 3 5
To generate the first five terms of the pattern using the rule "multiplied by 2 then subtract by 1," start with the given number, which is 2 in this case. Then follow the rule for each subsequent term.
Term 1: Start with 2
Term 2: Multiply the previous term (2) by 2, then subtract 1: (2 × 2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3
Term 3: Multiply the previous term (3) by 2, then subtract 1: (3 × 2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5
Term 4: Multiply the previous term (5) by 2, then subtract 1: (5 × 2) - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9
Term 5: Multiply the previous term (9) by 2, then subtract 1: (9 × 2) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17
Therefore, the first five terms of the pattern are: 2, 3, 5, 9, 17.
