Start at 5. create a pattern that multiplies each number by 3 and subtracts 2. stop when you have 5 numbers.

The required pattern is 13, 37, 109, 325, 973

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, each number in the sequence follows the following rule,

2 less than the 3 times of the previous number.

If we start from 5,

Then first number of the sequence = 3×5 - 2 = 15 - 2 = 13

Second number = 3× 13 - 2 = 39 - 2 = 37

Third number = 3× 37 - 2 = 111 - 2 = 109

Fourth number = 3×109 - 2 = 327 - 2 = 325

Fifth number = 3× 325 - 2 = 975 - 2 = 973

Hence, The required sequence is,

13, 37, 109, 325, 973

hi there!

question 1 answer: p/q can be terminating when q = 5^m * 2^n

question 2 answer: -1 and -1

question 3 answer: -4
