Answer:
" The missing number is 19. "
Solution:
Let us look into an interesting algebraic operational fact on the given numbers first. The first number is 41, the second number is 42; so 41 increases. The second number is 42, the third number is 41; so 42 decreases. We can observe that the sequence follows decreasing-increasing in terms respectively. So we find the differences and try to look for what reasoning is working there.
42 - 41 = 1 = 1²
41 - 42 = - 1 = (- 1)³
45 - 41 = 4 = 2²
37 - 45 = - 8 = (- 2)³
46 - 37 = 9 = 3²
Here we see that the differences maintain a sequence
1², (- 1),³, 2², (- 2)³, 3², (- 3)³, ...
In order to find the missing term, we add (- 3)³ to the previous term and thus the missing number is
= 46 + (- 3)³ = 46 - 27 = 19.
