What is the next number in this sequence?? 95 36 15?

Answer 1

32

f(x) = 19x^2 - 116x + 192

f(1) =95
f(2) = 36
f(3) = 15
f(4) = 32

(Hey trikrikru, how is M(x) defined for random x? ...like your answer tho...)
The rest of you need to justify your answers!!
AnyMouse, that's true but boring unfortunately.
Let's all find the most outrageously true reason folks!

Wait! I change my answer to 0 because if:

f(1) =95
f(2) = 36
f(3) = 15
f(4) = 0 THEN...

f(x) = -1 1/3 x^4 + 8 x^3 + 4 1/3 x^2 - 108 x^1 + 192



.......well, this is the Mathematics thread, isn't it???????????

Hey, maybe the next number is N, where N is anything you want!!!

Then

f(x) = 192 - 97C(x,1) + 38C(x,2) - [32 - N]C(x,4)

where C(a,b) = a! / [(a-b)! b!] , the combination of a things taken b at a time.

If anyone can prove this, I'm going to ask the question and the first to answer it properly, etc, etc, etc, .

Answer 2

6

Answer 3

7

Answer 4

The next number is 4:

95 -> 9*(5-1) = 36
36 -> 3*(6-1) = 15
15 -> 1*(5-1) = 4

Answer 5

74

f(x) = M(x)

M = {95, 36, 15, 74, 92, 31, 17, 102... }

Answer 6

4. 9x5-9=36. 3x6-3=15. 1x5-1=4
