if a sequence begins 1, 8, 27, 56, 95, can anyone explain what the 50th term will be?

Question

i think it's 401360 but i'm not sure

Answer 1

not 2x2x2 then 3x3x3 then 4x4x4 because 5x5x5 is not 95, Have some thoughts on it so will pop back, how did you get to 401360

Answer 2

Do these numbers follow a pattern & are in a sequence is to be checked first. Then it'll be easy to find the nth term. tn.
I think, the next terms are 144, 203, 272 etc etc

Except the first two terms, the other terms follow a pattern.

Difference between 1st & 2nd term = 7
Diff. bet 2nd & 3rd Term = 19
Diff. between 3rd & the fourth = 29
Diff. between the 4th & 5 th = 39

Diff. between 49th & 50 th term should be 499.

The sequence = 1, 8, 27, 56, 95, 144, 193, 202, 281, 370, 469, ......

If it goes this way, the 50 th term can easily be found out. It is 12,200 ?

Answer 3

i got it !
look if we done the following steps will find that the sequence is increasin by 10 each time as follows:
27-8=19,56-27=29,95-56=39,
if we started counting fro the numbers that gave us 19 which is th 3rd factor (27) therefore to reach the 50th factor we have 47 factors i mean :
47x10=470 , 470+19(the factor we started from)=489 ,
so, the 50th factor will be =489
good luck , i wish it is right.

Answer 4

if i am not mistaken the first & second terms are not 1 & 8 but that the first term is 18 & second term is 27 and so on. then the answer is 12200.
be careful with the questions man.

Answer 5

I think it's 125000, as they all seem to be to the power of 3. For example, 2x2x2 is 8, 3x3x3 is 27 so by my reckoning 50x50x50 is 125000.

Answer 6

I think it is 12200

The nth term seems to be (5n^2 - 6n) for n>1

2) 5x2^2 - 6x2 =8
3) 5x3^2 - 6x3 = 27
4) 5x4^2 - 6x4 = 56
5) 5x5^2 - 6x5 = 95

50) 5x50^2 - 6x50 = 12200

Answer 7

12,329? ugh i give up
