Need Tonight For Homework Due In The Morning.
Question:
a.Write the first six terms of the sequence that starts with 1, and for which the difference between consecutive terms is first 2, and then 3,5, and 6.
b.Evaluate n squared + n /2 for n=1,2,3,4,5 and 6.Compare the sequence you get with your answer for part a.
c.Draw a diagram to represent n squared +n/2For n=5

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .Write the first six terms of the sequence that starts with 1, and for which the difference between consecutive terms is first 2, and then 3,4,5, and 6.
---
1,3,6,10,15,21
==================================
b.Evaluate (n^2+ n) /2 for n=1,2,3,4,5 and 6.
Compare the sequence you get with your answer for part a.
If n = 1 you get (1+1)/2 = 1
If n = 2 you get (4+2)/2 = 3
If n = 3 you get (9+3)/2 = 6
etc.
===========================================================
c.Draw a diagram to represent (n squared +n)/2 for n=5.
(25+5)/2 = 15
=============================================================
