Please help, this has me so stumped.
What about this one then.
Following the pattern shown in the number sequence below, what is the missing number?
1 - 8 - 27 - ? - 125 - 216
36
45
46
64
99
1 = 1*1*1
8 = 2*2*2
27 = 3*3*3
? = 4*4*4 :)
125 = 5*5*5
4*4*4=64
To solve this number sequence problem, we need to identify the pattern and use it to find the missing number.
Looking at the given sequence, we can observe that each number is the cube of a specific value.
1 = 1^3
8 = 2^3
27 = 3^3
125 = 5^3
216 = 6^3
So, the missing number should be the cube of the next integer. The next integer after 3 is 4, so we need to find the cube of 4.
4^3 = 4 * 4 * 4 = 64
Therefore, the missing number in the sequence is 64.
