Solution

The given sequence is: 4, 5, 8, 13, 20.

To find the rule of this sequence, let's look at the differences between consecutive terms:

5 - 4 = 1 8 - 5 = 3 13 - 8 = 5 20 - 13 = 7

The differences between the terms are increasing by 2 each time.

So, the difference between the next term and the last term (20) should be 7 + 2 = 9.

Therefore, the next term in the sequence should be 20 + 9 = 29.
