Answer:
−336
Step-by-step explanation:
From 6 to 12: This can be seen as multiplying by 2.
6×2=12
From 12 to -12: This can be seen as multiplying by -1.
12×(−1)=−12
From -12 to 48: This can be seen as multiplying by -4.
−12×(−4)=48
Now, if we try to identify a pattern in the multipliers
2,−1,-4
it might not be immediately obvious. However, let's check if there is any cyclical or arithmetic pattern in the multipliers:
The multipliers are
2,−1,−4.
−1: Difference is −3
−1 to −4: Difference is −3
This suggests that the next multiplier might follow the same difference of
−3:
Next multiplier: = −4 −3 = −7
Using the multiplier −7:
48× (−7) = −336
So, the next number in the sequence is likely
−336
