Sometimes if you'll look at every other term, starting with the first term you'll see one pattern, and starting with the second term, you'll see a different pattern. 2 5 7 11 14 19 23 29 ? Look at the sequence of the odd numbered terms 2 7 14 23 ? 2 + 5 = 7 7 + 7 = 14 14 + 9 = 23 See the pattern? So the next term will be: 23 +11 = 34 Look at the sequence of the even numbered terms 5 11 19 29 ? 5 + 6 = 11 11 + 8 = 19 19 +10 = 29 See the pattern? So the next even numbered term will be: 29 +12 = 41 So the sequence goes: 2 5 7 11 14 19 23 29 34 41 Edwin
