We have been given the sequence 2,3,5,9,17.
We can write the terms of this sequence as
From the above term we can see that for the first term we take exponent 0 on 2 and then add 1 .
For second term we take exponent 1 on 2 and then add 1 .
For third term we take exponent 2 on 2 and then add 1 .
Using this fact for the next term of the sequence i.e. 6th term, we can take exponent 5 on 2 and then add 1 .
Therefore, next term of the sequence is given by
Therefore, the next term is 33.
Using the above facts, the pattern is given by
Answer:
Stephen has 9 trees
Alice has 21 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>At the beginning:</u>
Stephen = x trees
Alice = x + 12 trees
<u>At the end:</u>
Alice = (x + 12) - 4 trees
Stephen = x + 10 trees
Total = 36
Then
Stephen - 9 trees
Alice - 9 + 12 = 21 trees
