Any number at all can be fitted as the missing number in a such a sequence.

The simplest is 32 with the rule: Un = 4*n + 24

Next there is 31.749 with the rule Un = 24.694*1.134n

But, given any number, it is easy to find a rule which will work - even though it may look a pretty clumsy rule.

Suppose you want some number x to be the missing number. Then consider

a = 32 - x

b = -124 + 4x

c = 120 - 3x

then Un = an2 + bn + c will do the trick.

What is the missing number in the sequence 9-16-25- -49?

The sequence consists of perfect squares: (3^2 = 9), (4^2 = 16), (5^2 = 25), and (7^2 = 49). The missing number corresponds to (6^2), which is 36. Therefore, the missing number in the sequence is 36.


What number is missing in the sequence 12 24 36 96 192?

What is the missing number 16 4 12 36 9 27 44 11 -?

To find the missing number in the sequence 16, 4, 12, 36, 9, 27, 44, 11, we can look for a pattern. The first set of numbers appears to alternate between two sequences: the first sequence (16, 12, 9, 44) and the second sequence (4, 36, 27, 11). Following this pattern, the missing number, which follows the last number in the second sequence (11), should be 33. Thus, the missing number is 33.

What is next in sequence for 38 36 30 28 22 what is next?

The sequence decreases in a pattern: the first two numbers decrease by 2 (38 to 36), then by 6 (36 to 30), again by 2 (30 to 28), and finally by 6 (28 to 22). Following this pattern, the next decrease should be by 2, resulting in 22 - 2 = 20. Therefore, the next number in the sequence is 20.
