Answer :
Answer:
Next two numbers are 15 and 32 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given pattern is
45, 15, 44, 17, 40, 20, 31, 25, …
Here, we have two patterns.
Odd places : 45, 44, 40, 31,...
Even places : 15, 17, 20, 25,...
In series of odd places, we need to subtract square of integers.
[tex]45-(1)^2=45-1=44[/tex]
[tex]44-(2)^2=44-4=40[/tex]
[tex]40-(3)^2=40-9=31[/tex]
So, 9th term of given pattern is
[tex]31-(4)^2=31-16=15[/tex]
In series of even places, we need to add prime numbers.
[tex]15-2=17[/tex]
[tex]17+3=20[/tex]
[tex]20+5=25[/tex]
So, 10th term of given pattern is
[tex]25+7=32[/tex]
Therefore, the next two numbers in the pattern of numbers are 15 and 32 respectively.
