simplest formula:Edwin
Here is another general formula:(You can simplify that if you like, but about all you can do is factor out . How I got the 2nd solution was to find the average of the two solutions for even and odd terms in my first answer above to be . Then I found the common distance from the average for each solution to be . Then I knew that this common distance gets added to the average when is +1, and this common distance gets subtracted from the average when is -1. Edwin
PLEASE NOTICE THAT I HAVE CORRECTED BOTH MY SOLUTIONS ABOVE!
