Question

3,6,9 pattern next term

Answer 1

Because it is an example of the definition of inductive reasoning.

Read that article at that link.

 

Ex.  Spot is a dog and he has fleas.

       Rover is a dog and he has fleas.

       Dunkins in a dog and he has fleas.

        Pepper is a dog and he has fleas.

           see a pattern? What is the conclusion (About dogs?)

 

So the first term is 3.

The second term is 6 which is 3 more.

The third term is 9 which is 3 more.

The next term is 12 which is 3 more...

etc etc etc

 

I guess , dare I say, that is the pattern.
