56.
The difference between one term and the next is -2 x the previous difference. 88 to 120 is +32, so the next term is 120 - 64 = 56
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.
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 sequence appears to alternate between two patterns: one set of numbers decreasing by 4 (100, 96) and another set increasing or decreasing in a more irregular manner (104, 88, 120, 56). Following this pattern, the next number after 56 seems likely to continue the decreasing trend, suggesting the next number could be 52. Thus, the sequence may continue with 52.
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

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.
One possible answer is 494. This uses the cubic function (-29x3 + 256x2 - 401x + 218)/2
