Question Number 87767 by shshdhdhdhh@gmail.com last updated on 06/Apr/20

Commented by MJS last updated on 06/Apr/20

there′s not a single correct answer. it′s  possible to find at least one function satisfying  a chosen value in the empty field and all other  fields.  an easy example: find the next number:  1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ?  let ?=α  then we can find a polynome  f(x)=c_6 x^6 +c_5 x^5 +c_4 x^4 +c_3 x^3 +c_2 x^2 +c_1 x+c_0   with f(1)=1, f(2)=1, f(3)=2, f(4)=3,  f(5)=5, f(6)=8 and f(7)=α  ∀α∈C
