Answer 2

Previous term $2^6+8=64+8=72$

Next term $2^{-1}+8=0.5+8=8.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given series: 40,24,13,15,10,9

$40\rightarrow 32+8= 2^5+8$

$24\rightarrow 16+8= 2^4+8$

$16\rightarrow 8+8= 2^3+8$

$12\rightarrow 4+8= 2^2+8$

$10\rightarrow 2+8= 2^1+8$

$9\rightarrow 1+8= 2^0+8$

Thus, the general series $2^n+8$

We can find previous or next term of the series

Previous term $2^6+8=64+8=72$

Next term $2^{-1}+8=0.5+8=8.5$

Hence, the series is  72, 40,24,13,15,10,9, 8.5
