Question

What is the nth term of the sequence below?

Answer 1

Answer:

  n(n+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Only the last two formulas work for n=1; only the last formula works for n=2.

For n=1

  3n = 3 ≠ 2

  n² -1 = 0 ≠ 2

  n² +1 = 2

  n(n+1) = 2

For n=2

  n²+1 = 5 ≠ 6

  n(n+1) = 6 . . . . . this last formula works for the given sequence
