I am a freshman in high school. i have a problem that says:

1,4,27,____,_____46656..... please find the fourth and fifth numbers in this sequence.

Help---thanks



Hi Brenda,

Sometimes you can solve these problems to find the next few terms in a sequence buy recognizing some patterns or special properties in the numbers. What I see here is that 4 is 22 and 27 is 33. Of course 1 is also 11.
