What is the pattern in the values as the exponents increase?

"multiply the previous value by 3"

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily see the pattern if we look at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th terms.

Now, we can see 1st and 2nd terms (which wasn't that apparent for some). Does multiplying 1/3 by 3 give us 1? INDEED, it does!

So the rule is "multiplying the previous term by 3".

b. x- 48 =120

step-by-step explanation:

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
