Question

Find the next term if the sequence: 3, 6, 11, 18, 27, 38

Answer 1

51

Explanation:

I know that someone has already answered this, but I think it might be better to know the actual formula to find the answer. Since we can find a common increase of 2 in each increase, we can use a(n) = n^(increase) + a0

For example, to find the 7th term (The one you're looking for) You can do

a(7) = 7^2 + 2

which gives you 51.

Answer 2

The answer would be 51, because the sequence pattern is adding up by odd numbers.
