Question

Write a rule for each pattern. Then use your rule to find the next two terms in the pattern. The numbers are: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49

Answer 1

The simple pattern is that all are squares of 1,2,3,4,5,6,........
So the next two terms will be 64 and 81

Answer 2

49 + 15 = 64, and 64 + 17 = 81.

In short, the next two terms will have to be 64 and 81.
