Answer:
n²+n+2
Step-by-step explanation:
1)Find the difference between the numbers.
Difference= +1,+2,+3,+4,+5
2)Find the second difference between the first differences.
Difference= +1 each time
2 differences=Quadratic sequence
3)Quadratic Sequence Equation= an²+bn+c
Find the values of a, b and c by using these terms:
a (bottom)
2a+b (middle)
a+b+c (top)
4)Substitute values into equation
a=1 b=1 c=2
n²+n+2
