16, 25, 36, 49, ?
Number Series Pattern Identification
The question asks to find the missing number in the given series: 16, 25, 36, 49, ?.
Pattern Identification
Let's examine the relationship between the numbers in the series:
- The first number is 16, which is $4^2$.
- The second number is 25, which is $5^2$.
- The third number is 36, which is $6^2$.
- The fourth number is 49, which is $7^2$.
The pattern observed is the square of consecutive integers, starting from 4.
Step-by-Step Solution
Following the identified pattern, the next integer after 7 is 8. Therefore, the missing number should be the square of 8.
- The sequence of bases is 4, 5, 6, 7, ...
- The next base in the sequence is 8.
- Calculate the square of 8: $8^2 = 8 \times 8 = 64$.
Thus, the number that replaces the question mark (?) is 64.
