Let's analyze the sequence presented in the image.

The numbers in the triangles are: $3, 5, 8, 13, 22, ?$

Step-by-step reasoning:

1. Calculate the difference between consecutive numbers:

   • $5 - 3 = 2$
   • $8 - 5 = 3$
   • $13 - 8 = 5$
   • $22 - 13 = 9$

2. The differences are: $2, 3, 5, 9$.

3. Notice that these differences seem to follow a pattern related to Fibonacci-like numbers:

   • $2, 3, 5, 9, ...$ (next difference is $9 + 5 = 14$).

4. Add this new difference to the last number in the sequence:

   • $22 + 14 = 36$.

Thus, the missing number is 36, which is not listed in the options.

Note:

If the image options are misaligned, clarify if the correct options were meant to include 36 or let me know if adjustments are needed.

Would you like further clarification or a detailed breakdown? Here are 5 related questions to expand understanding:

1. Can you explain why the differences grow following a pattern?
2. How can we generalize this sequence for larger terms?
3. What are Fibonacci-like sequences, and how are they applied here?
4. What if the pattern changes? How can we verify it?
5. Could there be other interpretations for the sequence rule?

Tip: Always check for arithmetic or Fibonacci-like patterns when analyzing sequences!
