There is no graph to support the statement and so, this invisible graph is misleading :)
For this case we have the following sequence:
0.8
3.2
12.8
51.2
This sequence can be written as:
0.8 = 0.2 * 4 = 0.2 * 4 ^ 1
3.2 = 0.2 * 16 = 0.2 * 4 ^ 2
12.8 = 0.2 * 64 = 0.2 * 4 ^ 3
51.2 = 0.2 * 256 = 0.2 * 4 ^ 4
Therefore, we have that the generic expression for this case is:
an = 0.2 * 4 ^ n
Then, the next number is then:
a5 = 0.2 * 4 ^ 5 = 0.2 * 1024 = 204.8
answer
the next number in the pattern is 204.8
Use Pythagorean Theorem:
c = sr (a^2 + b^2) = sr (3^2 + 5.3^2)
= sr (9 + 28.09) = sr (37.09)
= 6.09 = 6.1
9/7 or 1 2/7 is the answer. im pretty sure its right.
