Sum of two consecutive integers squared n=the first integer

Question

Sum of two consecutive integers squared with n being the first integer

Answer 1

Hi Mike,

Are you asking for an equation that would represent the described value in terms of n? If so then we just need to read the premise carefully. We are goind to sum n, and then its next consecutive integer, which would just be n + 1. That sum would be:

1. n + ( n + 1)
2. 2*n + 1

We then square that value:

1. (2*n + 1)²
2. 4*n² + 4*n + 1

There you go!
