Distinguish additive change from multiplicative change in tables, graphs, and contexts.
Find the repeated change
Problem
Determine the repeated change in \(3,~6,~12,~24\) and classify the pattern as additive or multiplicative.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Test the sequence in its forward order. First compare consecutive differences to see whether one added amount works throughout; if those vary, compare each new term with the preceding term by division to look for a constant factor. The classification follows from whichever comparison stays constant across every transition, not from a single step.
