please medal me

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

it could be either one actually

Answer 7

@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.

Answer 8

oh my bad i thought they said next

Answer 9

Oops..

Answer 10

yes indeed its is 49
