Here are the extended patterns:

2. Extend the following pattern.

a) Pattern: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, \text{___}, \text{___}, \text{___}
The tip indicates that prime numbers are used. The pattern starts with 1, followed by the sequence of prime numbers.

  1. Identify the prime numbers after 11.

    The prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that have no positive divisors other than 1 and themselves.
    The prime numbers after 11 are 13, 17, and 19.

    The extended pattern is: 1,2,3,5,7,11,13,17,191, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, \boxed{\text{13}}, \boxed{\text{17}}, \boxed{\text{19}}.

    b) Pattern: 1, 3, 7, 15, \text{___}, \text{___}, \text{___}
    Rule: multiply by 2 and add 1.

  2. Apply the rule to the last given number, 15.

    15×2+1=30+1=3115 \times 2 + 1 = 30 + 1 = 31
  3. Apply the rule to the new number, 31.

    31×2+1=62+1=6331 \times 2 + 1 = 62 + 1 = 63
  4. Apply the rule to the next new number, 63.

    63×2+1=126+1=12763 \times 2 + 1 = 126 + 1 = 127

    The extended pattern is: 1,3,7,15,31,63,1271, 3, 7, 15, \boxed{\text{31}}, \boxed{\text{63}}, \boxed{\text{127}}.

    c) Pattern: 100, 52, 28, \text{___}, \text{___}, \text{___}
    Rule: divide by 2 and add 2.

  5. Apply the rule to the last given number, 28.

    28÷2+2=14+2=1628 \div 2 + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16
  6. Apply the rule to the new number, 16.

    16÷2+2=8+2=1016 \div 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10
  7. Apply the rule to the next new number, 10.

    10÷2+2=5+2=710 \div 2 + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7

    The extended pattern is: 100,52,28,16,10,7100, 52, 28, \boxed{\text{16}}, \boxed{\text{10}}, \boxed{\text{7}}.

    3. Create two of your own number patterns and ask your friend to extend it.

    a) Pattern: 5, 10, 15, 20, \text{___}, \text{___}, \text{___}
    Rule: Add 5 to the previous number.

    b) Pattern: 1, 4, 9, 16, \text{___}, \text{___}, \text{___}
    Rule: The nn-th term in the sequence is n2n^2.
