-
- 1) divide the series in the following way
(-3,-2,-1)
(6,4,2)
(1,-1,-3)
so the next number in the given series is 0 i.e
-3+1=-2
-2+1=-1
-1+1=0 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(15) No(0)
- 2)-27/-3=9
9/-3=-3
81/-3=-27
-27/-3=9
54/-3=-18
Ans:-18 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(0)
- please explain the 3rd series result
- 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- 3) First element of a group i: 4*3^(i-1)
Second element: 2*3^i
Third element: 2*3^i - 4
So next group (i =3) should be: {36, 54, 50} - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(3)
- (-27,9,-3),(81,-27,9),(54,_,_)
9*-3= -27
-3*-3=9
-27*-3=81
9*-3=27
18*3=54
so,next term will be 18 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(6)
- 1)-3,6,1,-2,4,-1,-1,2,-3
Ans : 0
Explanation :-3,6,1|-2,4,-1|-1,2,-3|?
Need 1st term so -3,-2,-1,0 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 1) (-3,-2,-1,0)
(6,4,2,0)
(1,-1,-3,-5) ======>> so answer is 0 . - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- 2.) -27,9,-3,81,-27,9,54,?
9*-3=-27
-27*-3=81
so the answer is 6 by 9*6=54 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- 1). alternatively take 3 numbers i.e (-3,-2,-1) in this we observe +1 series then next is our !!ans ( -1+1=0 )
if we want further no also try similarly i.e.. (6,4,2) we see -2 pattern here then next is " 2-2=0 "
similarly ( 1,-1,-3) here we see pattern is add -2 then next is " -3-2 = -5 ". so next series is (0,0,-5) - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 4*3=12
6*3=18
2*3=6 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
