In fact, the pattern here is $$\huge1^2,2^2,3^2,4^2,5^2...$$

anonymous · Answer

It appears to be a sequence of the squares of natural numbers: 1^2,2^2,3^2,... Hence the answer would be (5+1)^2=6^2=36. However, the general term of this sequence is not given, so this question is actually pointless.

zepp · Answer

So the 7th number will be $$\large 7^2,~which~is~49$$

anonymous · Answer

it could be either one actually

anonymous · Answer

@zepp is correct here. The question asks for the 7th term, not the next term. The next term is 36, the 7th term is 49.
