Answer:

392

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles XQP and YRS are right triangles because triples 6, 8, 10 are Pythagorean triples.

Extend lines XQ, YR, YS and XP and mark their intersection as A and B.

Quadrilateral XAYB is a square because all right triangles PXQ, QAR, RYS and SBP are congruent (by ASA postulate) and therefore

  • all angles of the quadrilateral XAYB are right angles
  • all sides of XAYB are congruent and equal to 6 + 8 = 14 units.

Segment XY is the diagonal of the square XAYB, by Pythagorean theorem,

XY^2=XA^2+AY^2\\ \\XY^2=14^2+14^2\\ \\XY^2=196+196\\ \\XY^2=392

Using inductive reasoning, what is the next two numbers in this set?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

25 and -31

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that if all the negatives were positive, you would have the arithmetic sequence 1, 7, 13, 19, on and on, adding 6 every time. So basically we have a geometric and arithmetic sequence combined, with the geometric sequence making it positive, and negative, and the arithmetic sequence adding 6 every time. This means the answer(s) are 25 and -31.
