Multiply by 5 then minus 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

27344

Step-by-step explanation:

difference between 2nd term and 1st term = 9 - 2 = 7

difference between 3rd term and 2nd term = 44 - 9 = 35

difference between 4th term and 3rd term = 219 - 44 = 175

difference between 5th term and 4th term = 1094 - 219 = 875

difference between 6th term and 5th term = 5469 - 1094 = 4375

we can see that difference between consecutive terms is multiplying by 5

( 35 = 7 x 5 ,  175 = 35 x 5 , 875 = 175 x 5  ,  4375 = 875 x 5 )

so difference between 7th term ( term which we should find out ) - 6th term (5469 ) = 4375 x 5 = 21875

so 7 th term = 6 th term + 21875

= 5469 + 21875 = 27344

so next term in series is 27344
