Finding Missing Numbers

To find a missing number, first I will have to find a Rule behind the Sequence.
Sometimes I can just look at the numbers and see a pattern:

Example: 1, 4, 9, 16, ?

AnsIr: they are Squares (12=1, 22=4, 32=9, 42=16, …)
Note: I told you they are squares, but if it didn’t hit your mind…you need practice. Now see the following rule.
Rule: xn = n2
Sequence: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, …
Did you notice how I wrote that rule using “x” and “n” ?
xn means “term number n”, so term 3 is written x3
And I also used “n” in the formula, so the formula for term 3 is 32 = 9. This could be written
x3 = 32 = 9
is not it?
Once I master this Rule I can use it to find any term. For example, the 25th term can be found by “plugging in” 25 wherever n is.
x25 = 252 = 625
