Assume you meant 27, not 26. The general formula for the nth term is - (-1)n n3 True, but why not assume that the numbers are correct and that the general term is defined by a more complicated function. For example, t(n) = (285*x4 - 3184*x3 + 12237*x2 - 18806*x + 9480)/12 generates the above numbers.
Subtract the largest value and the smallest value. (example: 12, 23, 49, 62) 62-12 range:50
t(n) = a + 8*d = 54 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. (A) s(12) = 12*a + 66*d = 438 .. .. .. .. (B) 12*(A) - (B) => 12*A + 96*d -12*A - 66*D = 648 - 438 => 30*d = 210 = d = 7 Then substituting this value in (A) gives a + 54 = 54 => a = -2 So the first term is -2 and the common difference is 7.
To find the range of a set of numbers, subtract the lowest value from the highest; so the range is 12 - 4, or 8.
That is an infinite list. One such set is (5, 7, 9, 12, 12)
