How do you find the next 3 terms from the pattern: 2,6,18,...
The pattern appears to be
2(3)^(n-1) for n = 1, 2, 3, 4.......
So we have
2, 6, 18, 54, 162, 486
One possible pattern would be to get the next term by multiplying by 3:
2 x 3 = 6 6 x 3 = 18 etc.
so: 18 x 3 = ? ? x 3 = ?? and ?? x 3 = ???
