Complete the string with the missing number 2,8,14,20,x,32.

This is a pattern sequence question. Look at the numbers
we have been given:


2,8,14,20, X,
32


X is the number missing in the pattern
sequence. Look at the other given numbers; 2, 8, 14, 20. Do you see a number pattern
here amongst these numbers? Look at the numbers 2 and 8. What is the number difference
here between the numbers? To get to the number 8 from the number 2, how many spaces must
we move. We are already on 2, so let us count over to 8, starting with the number 3
because we ae already on 2!   3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 How many
spaces did we need to count over to get to the numbe 8?  6, that is correct!  Now let's
do the same steps for the numbers between 8 and 14; ready;
9,10,11,12,13,14. How many spaces did we need to get to
14?   6.   Do you see a number sequence pattern now? If so, you should be able to find
out what X is by adding the pattern number we just discovered! Are you still not sure?
Let's take the numbers 14 and 20, and apply the same steps; ready?  15,
16,17,18,19,20.
How many spaces did we need to get to 20?  6!  Hmm that
number 6 seems to have come 3 times now!  Let us see what happens if we count over 6
spaces from here; ready?  21,22,23,24,25,26. Great, now let
us take the last number, and count back 6 numbers and see what number that brings us
too, resdy?  31,30,29,28,27,26. Hmm there is that number 26
again. Let us bring the original question
back:


2,8,14,20, X, 32 What
number logically could and will replace the letter X?  26?  Great, because
26 is your answer!


To answer these in the
future, remember it is best find the pattern first, and this will help you solve the
answer!

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
