Choose the next number in the series. 2, 8, 20, 44, 92,?
188
188 is correct.
Each term is obtained by doubling the previous term and adding 4.
\(2\times 2+4=8\), \(8\times 2+4=20\), \(20\times 2+4=44\), \(44\times 2+4=92\).
So the next term is \(92\times 2+4=188\).
The same result follows from the differences 6, 12, 24, 48, which double each time; the next difference is 96, and \(92+96=188\).
