Answer:
256
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the series
1, 16, 81, __, 625, 1296
The missing number in the sequence is the fourth term
From the above sequence, we know that
1, 4², 9² , __, 25² , 36²
Difference between first term = 4 - 1 = 3
9 - 4 = 5
x - 9 = 7
x = 9 + 7 = 16
Hence, the fourth term = 16²
= 256
