Starting with the numbers 1, build a sequence of 5 numbers

A number sequence. is a list of numbers arranged in a row. Let us look at two examples below. (i) 4, 6, 1, 10, 14, 5, … (ii) 4, 7, 10, 13, …. Number sequence (i) is a list of numbers without order or pattern. You cannot tell what number comes after 5. Number sequence (ii) has a pattern.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the last number in the sequence (31) by 1 number higher (32). Then divide by 2. (31 * 32) / 2 = ?. Simplify to 31 * 16 = 496; Use the FOIL Method if you need a trick to multiply two digit numbers. Subtract 1 from 496 since the sequence started with 2. ANSWER is 495.
