These are so-called  Hexagonal numbers. The general formula for the n-th hexagonal number is:
h_n=2n^2-n
h_n=\frac{2n(2n-1)}{2}
Let's compute a couple of them:
h_1=2(1)^2-1=1\\
h_2=2(2)^2-2=8-2=6\\
h_3=2(3)^2-3=18-3=15\\
h_4=2(4)^2-4=32-4=28\\
h_5=2(5)^2-5=50-5=45\\

Indeed this is our pattern.
The answer is:
multiply the term number by 2, subtract 1 from the result, multiply by 2 times the term number, and divide the result by 2.

The correct response is ;
<span>multiply the term number by 2, subtract 1 from the result, multiply by 2 times the term number, and divide the result by 2.
if term number is x,
the number in the pattern for xth term is ;
multiply term number by 2 - 2x
subtract 1 - 2x - 1
multiply by 2 times the term number - (2x-1) * 2x
divide by 2 - (</span>(2x-1) * 2x)/2
so first term x=1
((2*1-1) * 2*1)/2
2/2 = 1
second term x = 2
((2*2-1) * 2*2)/2
(3*4)/2 = 6
third term x = 3
((2*3-1) * 2*3)/2
5*6/2 = 15
fourth term  x= 4
((2*4-1) * 2*4)/2
56/2 = 28
Therefore the above response shows the correct pattern
