      Solution

      Calculate the differences between consecutive terms: 71โˆ’55=16 119โˆ’71=48 199โˆ’119=80 311โˆ’199=112 The differences are 16,48,80,112. The second-order differences (differences of the differences) are constant: 48โˆ’16=32 80โˆ’48=32 112โˆ’80=32 Since the second-order differences are constant, the next difference is: 112+32=144 Adding this to the last term:311+144 = 455
