Question 959206: what is the sequence of 2,9,16,27 and then what is the recursive rule for the nth number and explicit rule?

Those 4 terms are:

21,32,24,33

So we assume it continues like this:

21,32,24,33,25,36,28,37,29,310,212,311,213,314,216,315.

General term for k=1,2,3,...

a4k-3 = 24k-3, a4k-2 = 34k-2, a4k-3 = 24k, a4k = 34k-3,...
