Given ANY number, it is easy to find a polynomial of order 4 that will generate the above four numbers and the selected fifth.
The simplest polynomial or order 3 that will generate the above numbers is
Un = (-53n3 + 399n2 - 880n + 552)/6 for n = 1, 2, 3, ... and accordingly, the next number is -83.

5 8 7 10 9 12 11 14 The pattern is +3, -1, +3, -1, +3, -1, +3
What would be the next number in this series 15 12 13 10 11 8?
What would be the next number in this series 15 12 13 10 11 8?
What is the next number in this pattern 3 4 7 8 11?
The pattern seems to be +1 +3 +1 +3 (3+1 = 4, 4+3 = 7, 7+1 = 8, etc...) So next in the sequence would be 12.
What is the next number in this pattern 1 3 4 12 13 39 40?
120 (assuming the pattern is x3, +1, x3, +1...)
What is the next number in sequence 4 12 15 45 48?
The sequence reflects a pattern of multiplying by 3, then adding 3, to each successive value. The next value would be 144. Explanation: 4x3=12, 12+3=15, 15x3=45, 45+3=48, 48x3=144
What is the next number in the sequence 4 2 6 4 12 10?
It depends. If the pattern is -2 , *3, -2, *3 etc then 30 If the pattern is Un = (-16n5 + 275n4 -1770n3 + 5275n2 - 7124n + 3480)/30, then the next number is 122.
What is the next number in the sequence 40 42 21 24 8 12 3?
The pattern is +2 /2 +3 /3 +4 /4, and the next term would be +5, or 8.
