What is the n-th term of the sequence 2, 6, 12, 20...?

A.

4n - 2

B.

2(3(n - 1))

C.

n2 + n

D.

n2 + 3n + 2

Correct Answer: n2 + n

Explanation

Given that 2, 6, 12, 20...? the nth term = n2 + n check: n = 1, u1 = 2 n = 2, u2 = 4 + 2 = 6 n = 3, u3 = 9 + 3 = 12 ∴ n = 4, u4 = 16 + 4 = 20

Given that 2, 6, 12, 20...? the nth term = n2 + n check: n = 1, u1 = 2 n = 2, u2 = 4 + 2 = 6 n = 3, u3 = 9 + 3 = 12 ∴ n = 4, u4 = 16 + 4 = 20
