Question

Use inductive reasoning to predict the most probable next number in the list. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ?

Answer 1

1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36

Explanation:

This is because as you see 1 + 3 = 4, then 4 + 5 = 9, then 9 + 7 = 16. So we see that it goes like 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 . . . That is the pattern. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

36

Explanation:

Starting with 4, 9.

9 - 4 = 5 then + 2

So forward.
