When attempting to describe sequences, it is often convenient to look at first differences. Here, they are 4, 6, 8, 10, each obviously 2 more than the next.
a) Second differences are 2.
b) The next three numbers will be
.. 30+12 = 42
.. 42+14 = 56
.. 56+16 = 72
c) There are a number of ways to write an equation for this. One of the simpler ones is to let a graphing calculator perform quadratic regression and tell you the equation.
.. a[n] = n(n +1)
d) 117 is not in the sequence. The sequence consists only of even numbers, of which 117 is not one.
e) 10100 is in the sequence. It is 100*101, hence the 100th term of the sequence.

are the Fibonacci numbers,
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, ...
Taken modulo 7, we get the sequence
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 1, 6, 0, 6, 6, 5, 4, 2, 6, 1, ...
that repeats with period 16 (this is known as the 7th Pisano period).
This is to say,
