<3,^4,>7,<6,^8,>14,<9,^12

Question

need answer

 

Answer 1

The question is "What is the next term in this sequence?"

<3,^4,>7,<6,^8,>14,<9,^12

 

Let's look at the data as two entities.... the symbols <,^,> and then the numbers

 

the symbols appear in the order <,^,>,<,^,>,<,^   

this is a repeating sequence in sets of 3 with next symbol being >

 

Now let's look at the numbers

3,4,7,6,8,14,9,12

Break this down into groups of 3 giving    3,4,7    6,8,14    9,12,

Each set has the 3rd unit being the sum of the previous 2 numbers... 9+12 = 21

so the next number should be 21

 

Combine the next symbol with the next number and you get the next entry being  >21
