Given 7 numbers, any polynomial of degree 7 or more can be made to fit.
One possibility here is: 9 14 11 17 13 20 15
This is the merging of two sequences:
the first going 1*3-1, 2*3-1, 3*3-1, ...
and
the second going 1*2+1, 2*2+1, 3*2+1, ...

∙ 13y agoIt all depends on the sequence you are talking about. For example, the next number in the sequence 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,_ would be 21. This would be the Fibonacci sequence as the rule is add the 2 previous terms to get the next term. Another example would be this: 11,121,1331,14641,______.The missing number is 161051, following the pattern of powers of 11, 11^1, 11^2, 11^3 and so on. If you understand what I am trying to say, it all depends on the sequence you are trying to find the number in.
11
because you add the first 2 terms and the next tern was the the sum of the first 2 terms.
16
Consecutive terms in the sequence are being divided by -2. Therefore, -1 / -2 = 1/2 or 0.5.

They are: 10 and 16
To find the next number in the sequence 16, 11, 13, 8, 10, 5, 7, we first look for a pattern. Consider the differences between consecutive terms: 11 - 16 = -5 13 - 11 = 2 8 - 13 = -5 10 - 8 = 2 5 - 10 = -5 7 - 5 = 2 The differences alternate between -5 and 2. Following this pattern, the next difference after 7 should be -5: 7 + (-5) = 2 Therefore, the next number in the sequence is **2**.

Ignoring the "9" , then this is a Fibonacci sequence. 2,2,4,6,10 The first two terms are 'seed' terms then successive terms equal the sum of the two previous terms. 2 + 2 = 4 2 + 4 = 6 4 + 6 = 10 The next term would be 6 + 10 = 16.
Two possible answers spring immediately to mind. First, this sequence appears to be a list of the first five prime numbers; in this case, the next number in the sequence would be 13. Second, the intervals between these numbers comprise the sequence "1 2 2 4", in which the nth number equals the product of the (n-1)th and (n-2)th numbers. Based on this, the next number in the given sequence would be 11 + (4*2) = 19.
