You can put this solution on YOUR website! Look at the difference between terms,
1,3=2
3,6=3
6,10=4
10,15=5
15,21=6
.
.
.
First term=1
Second term=First term +2=1+2
Third term=Second term+3=1+2+3
Fourth term=Third term+4=1+2+3+4
Starting to see a pattern here...
Nth term=(N-1)term+N=1+2+3+...+(N-1)+N
Look like the terms follow,
