Two sequences of numbers are created. They both start from 0.
The first sequence follows the pattern rule “Add 2”. The second
follows the pattern rule “Add 6”. Which of the following statements
is true?
A) Each number in the second sequence is 4 more than the
corresponding number in the first sequence.
B) Each number in the second sequence is 6 times as much as the
corresponding number in the first sequence.
C) Each number in the second sequence is 3 times as much as the
corresponding number in the first sequence. (Correct Answer)
D) Each number in the second sequence is double the corresponding
number in the first sequence.
Explanation:
The sequences would look like this:
First: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, …; Second 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, . . . Matching up the corresponding elements
yields the pairs (0, 0), (2, 6), (4, 12), (6, 18), (8, 24), . . . The second element in each pair is
three times as much as the first element.
