Question from Sassy, a student: I can't figure out what the next two integers in this pattern are 3,9,6,12,9 are. |
Hi there.
Here's a hint: Have you ever heard of the expression "Two steps forward, one step back"?
If you triple it, you get "six steps forward, three steps back".
Cheers,
Stephen La Rocque.
