Anynumber can be the next number - or, by extension, the tenth number in the sequence. It is easy to find a rule based on a polynomial of order 4 such that the first four numbers are as listed in the question and the next is any number of your choice. There are also non-polynomial solutions. Short of reading the mind of the person who posed the question, there is no way of determining which of the infinitely many solutions is the "correct" one.

The simplest solution, based on a polynomial of order 3 is

t(n) = (-n^3 + 7*n^2 - 44*n + 52)/2 for n = 1 , 2, 3, ...

In that case, t(10) = -344.

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.

What is the next sequence number 38 36 30 28 22?

The next number in the sequence is 20. This is because the sequence is decreasing by 2, then decreasing by 6, then decreasing by 2, and then decreasing by 6. So, the next step would be to decrease by 2 again, resulting in the number 20.
