Answer:
Use the formula for Arithmetic only if it is Arithmetic: a1+ (n-1)d
a represents the first number in the sequence, n represents the number, and d represent common difference
Use the formula for geometric sequence: an=a1r the exponent of r to n-1
an represents the nth term you are trying to find, a1 represents the first number, r represents the common ratio, and n-1 is just the nth term minus 1.
Once you figure out if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric you one of those formulas.
Each drawing they are just adding another row to the right so for the 7th picture, there would be 28 dots. Another explanation is that they are just adding the same number of dots for each number it is. For example, for the 5th image, they added 5 dots to the previous image and so on.
The correct option is A, because there are 4 dots in sports utility vehicles circle out of the intersection.
