Given:
The sequence is:
-15,-10,-4, 3, 11, ______
To find:
The next number.
Solution:
We have,
-15,-10,-4, 3, 11, ______
Here, the difference between two consecutive terms are:
Similarly,
It is clear that the difference difference between two consecutive terms is increasing by 1. So, the next difference must be (8+1)=9.
Let the next number be x. Then,
Therefore, the next number of the sequence is 20.
