Answer:

Explanation:

It looks like every time the coefficient increases by 3 while the exponent increases by 1.


\\45\\\sum 3(n+1)x^(n)\\n = 0

Notice it starts at zero so 3 is multiplied by (x+1) to make it start from 0

The exponent is simply n, because at the start is it zero
x^0=1, then 1, then 2, so on.

The upper limit is 45 because 45 - 0 = 45 terms
