yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 11

794

The nth term in the series is given by the sum of x^n for x in the range 1 to 3,
i.e. 1^n + 2^n + 3^n.

Thus the first term is 1^1 + 2^1 + 3^1 = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6,
the second term is 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 = 1 + 4 + 9 = 14,
and so on.

The sixth term is then 1^6 + 2^6 + 3^6 = 1 + 64 + 729 = 794.

Answer 16

there is another way @austinL

Answer 17

is there?

Answer 18

yup

Answer 19

for the ist term : (6*3) = 18-4 = 14

2nd term : (14*3) = 42 - 6 = 36

3rd term : (36*3) = 108 - 10 = 98

4th term : (98*3) = 294 - 18 = 276

5th term : (276*3) = 828 - 34 = 794


the pattern is that u have to multiply each term by 3. nd times the ist term by 4. now:

4 + 2 =6, 6+2+2 = 10, 10+2+2+2+2 = 18 (u have double the amount of 2's every time)
