Answer

1: 1,2,4,7,11,16,22,.... 2: 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,.... 3: 1,2,4,13,....

Work Step by Step

1: the nth term could be obtained from the previous term by adding n − 1 2: the geometry series,$2^n$ 3: by the first three terms,we can construct the function $x^3$+$ax^2$+$bx$+$c=f(x)$. We can take 1,2,3 into the function,then we can get a,b,c. So we have the next terms by taking 4,5,6...into this function.
