A simple test

Hi, I got a little test for you.

Rules are simple:
The sequence below was made with a rule in mind.
Find out the rule before thread limit.

On 9 or (dubs or higher) I will post 4 more numbers.
they will all work by the same rule.

{..., 509, 514, 518, 524, ...}

Good luck

Pic not really related

{...,493, 509, 514, 518, 524, ...} is it correct?

oddly enough, all apply the rule except for 493

what rule did you apply?

Bump

he seems to have solved it

509, 514, 518, 524, 529, 536

give me any other set of numbers that apply your rule please

He copy pasted your numbers dumbass

doing 3 things at the same time can get pretty overwhelming when you're high as a kite tho :D

Numbers get larger

they do indeed, but its not bound to be like that

The math checks out guys.

Im not op

Just subtract 500 from each number, i guess

527, 534, 536, ...

..., 509, 514, 518, 524, 527, 530, 532, 534, 536?

OP is dead

529,536?

Obviously your rule is a polynomial of degree 3 that fits the given data at the points 0,1,2,3.

P=(7*x^3)/2 - 11*x^2 + (25*x)/2 + 509 is exactly that polynomial (the only one).

the series continues: P(-1)=482 and P(4)=607.

>the only one
The only one of degree three isn't it?

Yes. There are infinitely many for degree greater 3 but only 1 for degree 3.

So, OP made a mistake when writting? It should be, 514, 518, 542 not 524?

There can be so many numbers that would fit given the data.
Give us more numbers if you want a specific answer.

he added one at the beginning dumbass

You can't be this stupid.

Sorry, I fucked up.
(9007199254740733*x^3)/18014398509481984 - (281474976710629*x^2)/140737488355328 + (1829587348619133*x)/281474976710656 + 509
Is the right polynomial.

P(4)=535
P(-1)=500
