Math Problem Statement
4 4 10 34 94 (?) (1) 230 (2) 214 (3) 220 (4) 209 solve
Solution
To solve this sequence, let's analyze the pattern of the terms given:
- Sequence:
Let's examine the differences and any potential patterns:
- First term: 4
- Second term: 4
- Third term: 10 (difference of )
- Fourth term: 34 (difference of )
- Fifth term: 94 (difference of )
Notice that the differences are , , and . Let's examine if these differences follow a pattern.
Observing further, we might guess a pattern where each difference is a product or a multiple. Given the sequence complexity, it could follow an increasing multiplication pattern:
Checking this against the choices:
- If the pattern holds with increasing multipliers, the next term is 214.
Thus, the answer is:
Would you like to see more details or another approach? Here are five related questions to explore:
- What is a recursive formula for a similar sequence?
- How can differences in sequences indicate higher-order patterns?
- How would this approach change if the sequence was geometric?
- Can you identify an exponential pattern in this sequence?
- How can we determine when a pattern requires a polynomial approach?
Tip: Always verify patterns by testing with known terms before applying to unknown terms!
