What should be the next number in the following series? 100 96 104 88 120 56
-4 +8 -16 +32 -64 +128 Next number in this sequence is 184
The next number in the sequence 100,96,104,88,120,56 is 184.The pattern is minus 4, plus 8, minus 16, plus 32, minus 64, plus 128
184
The sequence is formed from two interwoven series. 440, 216, 104, 48 ........Halve the number and subtract 4. 260, 128, 62, 29...........Halve the number and subtract 2. The next number would be generated by the first series 48/2 = 24 24 - 4 = 20..........which is the next number.

One possible answer is 494. This uses the cubic function (-29x3 + 256x2 - 401x + 218)/2
Anything raised to the 0th power (except 0) is equal to 1. The reason: Consider the following sequence of numbers: 104, 103, 102, 101 Another way to write this sequence of numbers is 10000, 1000, 100, 10 Notice that each number is one-tenth of the preceding number. 1000 is one-tenth of 10000 100 is one-tenth of 1000 10 is one-tenth of 100. What should the next number in the sequence be? Looking at the first way of writing the numbers, it should be 100. Looking at the second way of writing it should be one-tenth of 10. One-tenth of 10 is 1. Similarly 10-1 would be the next number in the sequence and it would have to equal one-tenth of 1 or 0.1.
