Full solution

Q. What kind of sequence is this? 16,25,36,49,16, 25, 36, 49,
  1. Identify pattern: Step 11: Identify the pattern in the sequence 16,25,36,4916, 25, 36, 49. Calculate the differences between consecutive terms.\newline2516=925 - 16 = 9,\newline3625=1136 - 25 = 11,\newline4936=1349 - 36 = 13.
  2. Check differences pattern: Step 22: Check if the differences form a pattern. Calculate the differences between the differences calculated in Step 11.\newline119=211 - 9 = 2,\newline1311=213 - 11 = 2.
  3. Determine sequence type: Step 33: Determine the type of sequence. Since the second differences are constant (all equal to 22), the sequence is a quadratic sequence.
