Consider the sequence below: 5,8,13,20,29. What is the 10th term of the sequence

Question

I need help on this one

Answer 1

5, 8, 13, 20, 29

from 5 to 8 is a difference of 3

from 8 to 13 is a difference of 5

from 13to 20 is a difference of 7

from 20 to 29 is a difference of 9

so from 29 to the next number it must be a difference of 11 because the numbers are increasing by the next odd number (3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 , 15 ....)

Keep adding on the next odd number until you reach the 10th term and you will have your answer.
