I know that it's 8m but I don't know the exponent. Thank you.

How though?

It should be 8m^19 because each time you add 5. -4m^-1, -m^4, 2m^9, 5m^14. I think that's it.

here is the pattern
(3(n - 1) - 4) * m^(n^2)
(3n - 3 - 4) * m^(n^2)
(3n - 7)m^(n^2)
whereas "n" is the nth term
so since you want the 5th term
(3(5) - 7) * m^(5^2)
(15 - 7)(m^25)
8m^25
ANS : 8m^25
assuming you meant to say 5m^16 instead of 5m^14

-4+ 3 = -1
-1+ 3= 2
2+3 = 5
5 + 3 = 8
Exponents. 4-1 = 3
9-4 = 5
14 - 9 = 5
I dont know, perhaps the next difference should be 7

The exponent would be 19

8m^21
1st digit continues adding with 3
2nd digit..+4 then +5 then +6 then +7 and so on..

Ana? 9 - 4 = 4 ?!?!?! I don't think so..... so the answer is NOT 20
