Question 217540: Hi! Given a sequence like this:
when n=1, x=1
when n=2, x=5
when n=3, x=9
when n=4, x=13
... and so on, how do you come up with an equation to represent that relationship? I know the answer is 4n-3=x because I looked it up in the back of the book. But how do you figure that out on your own?
Please help! thank you!
