pattern
1; 3; 5; 7; 9; … a) Yes b) The numbers increase
by 2 each time (odd

→ 5 (-1), 5 → 8 (+3)
9; 18; 729; 6569; … e) No f) The sequence jumps too
drastically without a clear
rule (9 → 18 → 729 → 6569).
7; 8; 10; 12; 14; … g) Yes h) Description: Alternating
increase by 1 and 2: 7 → 8
(+1), 8 → 10 (+2), 10 → 12
(+2), 12 → 14 (+2)
14; 28; 34; 41; 48; … i) Yes j) Increasing alternately by
