Question

Find Z for the following sequence: 210, 209, 213, 186, 202, Z

Answer 1

Answer:

77

Step-by-step explanation:

as far as I can tell the steps between the given numbers are

-1

+4

-27

+16

1 can be expressed as 1³

4 can be expressed as 2²

27 can be expressed as 3³

16 can be expressed as 4²

my best guess is that next one is minus 5³ = -125

edit: technically the given steps can be expressed as

(-1)³

(-2)²

(-3)³

(-4)²

somewhat nicer pattern there
