    Inductive Reasoning homework help?
    I would really appreciate some help here. I have (now 5) problems out of the 20 that I can't figure out for the life of me. I appreciate your answers.

    I am currently on Inductive reasoning, obviously, and it tells me to FIND the next term and explain the pattern. So if you could help me please, and thank you.

    1( I already did)
    2) (Just finished this one, too)

    3) 1,4,3,16,5,36,7__?

    4) 4,8,61,221,244,884,__?

    5) 6,8,5,10,3,14,1__?

    6) B,0(zero), C,2,D,0(ZERO),E,3,F,3,G__?

    7) 2,3,6,1,8,6,8,4,8,4,8,3,2,3,2,3

    8) A E F H I K L M N T V W
    B C D G J O P Q R S U
    Where do the X,Y, and Z go?

    Thank you

    I'll just help with the first one, 1,4,3,16,5,36,7__?
    Notice how the larger numbers leap out at you as being every other one, starting with 4?
    If you separate them, you get 1 3 5 7 and 4 16 36 _, and the latter are the square of what would be the next digit in the other sequence. So the missing number, instead of being 8, is what?

    Quite interesting sequences you have here :)

    I figured out number 4.

    4) First, multiply by two the previous number. See if you can find the next term now :)

    5) It's related to prime numbers.

    6) It's related to the letter before the number. Can you figure this out? :)

    7) I started on something which got me up to the first 8 but then it didn't make sense... still working on that one and the last one.

    NinjaEDIT: I got 7), it's a matter of multiplying a term by the previous term.

    I'm not sure I understand where goes which letter in your given problem :confused:

    Is it like that?

    Code:

    A E F H I K L M N T V W B C D G J O P Q R S U
    or was it intended to have some letters below others?

    NinjaEDIT: Again... I figured it out :p

    You have one group with curves, and another group without. Can you figure where X, Y and Z go? :)
