Question 696538: Can someone please help with conjectures? I do not understand how to create a formula for these. I get how 1 = 1, or n^2 and #2 with 3^2 but that is as far as I understand.
Consider the following four equations:
1) 1 = 1
2) 2 + 3 + 4 = 1 + 8
3) 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 8 + 27
4) 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 = 27 + 64 = 91
Conjecture the general formula suggested by these four equations, and prove your conjecture.
