This sequence follows the rule n² + 1.
For n=1: 1² + 1 = 2
For n=2: 2² + 1 = 5
For n=3: 3² + 1 = 10
For n=4: 4² + 1 = 17
For n=5: 5² + 1 = 26
For n=6: 6² + 1 = 37
So the missing number is 26.

Find the next number in the sequence: 5, 10, 20, 40, …
  • a)
    60
  • b)
    70
  • c)
    80
  • d)
    100
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Coders Trust answered
Each number is multiplied by 2 to get the next number:
5 × 2 = 10, 10 × 2 = 20, 20 × 2 = 40, 40 × 2 = 80.
So the next number is 80.

Find the next number in the sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, …

  • b)
    11
  • c)
    12
  • d)

Understanding the Sequence
The sequence provided is: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8. This sequence follows the well-known Fibonacci pattern, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones.
Identifying the Pattern
- Start with the first two numbers: 1 and 1.
- The next number is calculated as:
- 1 + 1 = 2
- The following number is:
- 1 + 2 = 3
- Continuing this, we have:
- 2 + 3 = 5
- And:
- 3 + 5 = 8
Finding the Next Number
To find the next number in the sequence, we will sum the last two numbers:
- The last two numbers are 5 and 8.
- So, calculate:
- 5 + 8 = 13
Conclusion
Thus, the next number in the sequence is 13. The correct answer is option 'D'.
Recap of the Fibonacci Sequence
- Starts with: 1, 1
- Next numbers: Each number is the sum of the two preceding ones
- Next number calculation: 5 + 8 = 13
This Fibonacci sequence can be a fun and intriguing concept for students to explore further!
