Answer 2

goes down from 4 to 2, then up to 5, so not clear that "differences" will show you anything
is there maybe a typo here?

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 7

lol you have to go all the way to third differences!!

Answer 8

first differences are
-2, 3, 13, 28, 48, 73
second differences are
5, 10, 15, 20, 25
and now we see the patter, third differences are a constant, namely 5
