What is this pattern; 1,4,9,25,___,___,___? and please put the next 3 numbers.
----------
They're the squares of 1, 2, 3, 5
Might be the Fibbonaci series.
In the Fibonacci sequence of numbers, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers, starting with 0 and 1. This sequence begins 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987 ...
----------
If so, the next 3 are the squares of 8, 13 & 21
--> 64, 169, 441
