Question

Look at the pattern shown below. What number is missing from the pattern? 20, 22, 26, 34, __,82

Answer 1

The pattern is that we're adding powers of 2 to the previous number.

20 + 2, 22 + 4, 26 + 8, 34 + ?, ? + ?

Well, the answer is as simple as getting figuring out \[2^{4}\] and adding that to 34.

Answer 2

Furthermore, you can check that this answer is correct by adding the missing element to \[2^{5}\]
