Question

Choose the conjecture that describes how to find the 6th term in the sequence 4, 20, 36, 52, ….

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a common difference between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is

20 - 4 = 36 - 20 = 52 - 36 = 16

thus to obtain the next term in the sequence add 16 to the previous term

To obtain 2 terms distant then add 16 + 16 = 32

so 6th term = 52 + 32 = 84
