What is the next number of the following sequence
7, 4, 6, 3, 4.5, 1.5, 2.25, -0.75, ?

• sorry its -1.125
  
  7 - 3 = 4
  4 + 4/2 = 6
  6 - 3 = 3
  3 + 3/2 = 4.5
  4.5 - 3 = 1.5
  1.5 + 1.5/2 =2.25 [since 1.5/2= 0.75]
  2.25 - 3 = -0.75
  -0.75 + (-0.75/2) =(-0.75-0.375)= -1.125 [since -0.75/2=-0.375]
  
  so ans is : -1.125

• 7 - 3 = 4
  4 + 4/2 = 6
  6 - 3 = 3
  3 + 3/2 = 4.5
  4.5 - 3 = 1.5
  1.5 + 1.5/2 =2.25 [since 1.5/2= 0.75]
  2.25 - 3 = -0.75
  -0.75 + (0.75/2) = -0.425 [since 0.75/2=0.325]
  
  so ans is : -0.425

• 7-3=4; 4*(3/2)=6 ;
  6-3=3; 3*(3/2)=4.5;
  4.5-3=1.5; 1.5*(3/2)=2.25;
  2.25-3=-0.75; -0.75*(3/2)= -1.125
  Ans: -1.125

• 7,4,6,3,4.5,1.5,2.25,-0.75
  substracting the respective even and odd numbers we have:
  numbers at odd places
  7->6 = -1
  6->4.5 = -1.5
  4.5->2.25 = -2.25
  similarly,
  even places
  4->3 = -1
  3->1.5 = -1.5
  1.5->-0.75 = -2.25
  as we can see the differnce between the diffrence is incresing by .25
  i,e -1 -> -1.5 = -.5
  -1.5 -> -2.25 = -.75
  so the next diff b/w the diff be -(.75+.25)= -1
  so the ultimate diff be -(2.25+1)= -3.25
  the num be =2.25 - 3.25 = -1. ans

• firstly we take ist four term
  7,4,6,3
  =7+3=10
  n the sum of middle term i.e. 4 n 6 is also 10.
  4.5-0.75=3.75
  also 1.5+2.25=3.75
  also,
  3+1.5=4.5
  -0.75-1.5 = -2.25
  therefore ans is -2.25

• 7-6 = 1 , 4-3=1
  6-4.5=1.5 , 3-1.5=1.5
  4.5-2.25=2.25 , 1.5-(-.75)=2.25
  difference between 1 -1.5=.5 , 2.25-1.5=.75 hence 2.25 -(-1.25)= 1
  hence number is -1.25

• (7,6,4.5,2.25),(4,3,1.5,-0.75)
  7-6=1 4-3=1;
  6-4.5=1.5 3-1.5=1.5
  4.5-2.25=2.25 1.5-(-0.75)=2.25
  2.25-x=0.75 then x=1.5
