Clay thi
that the pattern is to add 2 to the previous term: an=an−1+2
Ott thi
that the pattern is to multiply 2 to the previous term: an=2an−1
Stacie thi
that the pattern is to add the term number to the previous term: an=an−1+n
There is not enough information to decide who is correct as any of the conjectures above work.
