2, 4, 9, 16, 25, _____, _____, _______

You need to explain exactly how you did it, so that I know you didn't get it off of some website. Whoever solves all three and explains them get the 10 points. Good Luck,some of these are hard and easy.

  1. Well for first one from the third term onwards the number is equal to the sum of the previous two numbers. Therefore the remaining three numbers are 10 + 16 = 26, 16 + 26 = 42 and 26 + 42 = 68.

    In third one the numbers are just the square of natural numbers except for the first one. Thus the remaining three numbers are 36, 49, 64.            

    I am unable to solve the second one. I think it should be 20 in place of 19. Then the terms are one more then the sum of the previous two terms.  


  2. l.  26, 42, 68                        

    2.  28, 40, 56

    3.  36, 49, 64

  3. 26,42,68

    30,43,60

    36,49,64

  4. The first one adds the preceding two numbers together to get the next one in the sequence. 2+2=4, 2+4=6, 4+6=10, etc.

    The next numbers in the sequence are 26, 32, & 58.

    The second one has basically the same idea, but it is the sum of the preceding two numbers & 1. 1+2+1=4, 4+2+1=7, etc.

    The next numbers in the sequence are 32, 52, & 85.

    I would say squaring for the last one, but 2 is not a perfect square.

  5. the first one is each number before it adds with the number to equal the next number.

    2 + 2 = 4

    2 + 4 = 6

    4 + 6 = 10

    6 + 10 = 16

    and so on and so forth

    second one goes up by a prime number each time. (1, 2, 3, 5, 7,  etc)

    the 3rd one, theyre all square roots

  6. 1st one. Each new term is the sum of the previous 2

    2nd one. 4 = 2 + 2

                 7 = 4 + 3

                 12 = 7 + 5

                 19 = 12 + 7

    Looks like it might be adding the next prime number to the previous term.  If so then  it would be 19 + 11 = 30

                                              30 + 13 = 43

                                              43 + 17 = 60

    3rd one looks like squares  2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 so the next

    terms would be 6x6 = 36, 7x7 = 49, 8x8 = 64
