the pattern is quadratic
Explanation:
the 1st difference:
68 - 35 = 33
99 - 68 = 31
128 - 99 = 29
155 - 128 = 27
180 -155 = 25
203 - 180 = 23
2nd difference:
31 - 33 = -2
29 -31 = -2
27 - 29 = -2
25 - 27 = -2
23 - 25 = -2
To determine if the pattern or linear is quadratic or something else, we need to know the following:
if the 1st difference is the same value, you know it's linear
if the 2nd differnce is the same value, you konw it's quadratic.
From our solution, the 1st difference does not have the same values
The 2nd difference have the same valu e of -2
Hence, the pattern is quadratic
