    Solution

    First, calculate the differences: 279βˆ’250=29 311βˆ’279=32 349βˆ’311=38 396βˆ’349=47 The differences are: 29,32,38,47. Now, let's look at the differences between these differences: 32βˆ’29=3 38βˆ’32=6 47βˆ’38=9 The second-order differences are 3,6,9, which are increasing by 3. If this pattern continues, the next difference should be: 9+3=12 Now, add this to the last difference: 47+12=59 Finally, add this to the last term in the series: 396+59 = 455
