  • Up to three clues can be viewed to help determine the answer

Find the next value in the sequence:

6 3 9 -3 21 -27

Sequence: 6 3 9 -3 21 -27

Terms are based on more than one previous term.

Sequence: 6 3 9 -3 21 -27

The nth term it the (n-2)th term times 2 minus the (n-1)th term.

Sequence: 6 3 9 -3 21 -27

An expression for the nth term is (30 + -3 × (-2)n)/6.
