Answer:
Explanation:
The first term is 6. The difference between the first two terms is 6. The first differences are 6,8,10,12,etc. so the second differences are 2’s.
quadratic formula: an^2+bn+c
2a=second difference=2
3a+b=first differece =6
a+b+c=first term=6
substitute: a=2/2=1, 3(1)+b=6 so b=3, 1+3+c=6 so c=2
nth term= n^2+3n +2
