Question

What are the next 2 terms in the sequence -9,-8,-4, 5, 21, 46,

Answer 1

Answer:

-9,-8,-4, 5, 21, 46,95,159

Step-by-step explanation:

We keep adding the square numbers to the previous terms

$-9+1^2=-8$

$-8+2^2=-4$

$-4+3^2=5$

$5+4^2=21$

$21+6^2=46$

The next term is $46+7^2=95$

The next one is $95+8^2=159$

We got this by observing the pattern
