To find the next term in the series $4, 9, 14, 37, 58$, let's analyze the differences between the consecutive terms:

1. $9 - 4 = 5$
2. $14 - 9 = 5$
3. $37 - 14 = 23$
4. $58 - 37 = 21$

We can see the differences between the terms:

• The first two differences are both 5.
• Then, the difference jumps to 23, followed by a smaller difference of 21.

This pattern suggests alternating values or some rule for differences, but it's not entirely straightforward. Let's try an approach based on alternating differences:

• First difference: 5
• Second difference: 5
• Third difference: 23
• Fourth difference: 21

It seems that the differences themselves are changing. Notice that $23 - 21 = 2$, so the next difference may be slightly smaller, like 19.

Therefore, the next term would be: $58 + 19 = 77$

Thus, the next term in the series is 77.
