(23 Sep 2014, 8:49 pm)Marcus I just follow everyone else's movements in Maths - I do like my new Maths teacher like, she's great banter! 
Basically, from where I'm standing, he top one should be 57, number two should be 44, number three ought to be 93, and number four should be 46. Basically mate, you work out the difference between each number, and work out by how much they are increasing, then using that you find out the next one.
So,
1) 57
2) 44
3) 93
4) 46
Hope this helps, Tom 
He had to work out the nth term - not the next term!
The nth term is the rule itself that you use to get, say, the 50th number in that sequence.
So if I was right about n2+8 being the term for Q1, then the 50th term would be 2508. (7*7)+8=57, which ties in with your answer of the next term for that sequence, so I think it's right...
