Homework Statement
Okay, so I'm going to be completely honest, I am really bad at math, and I have been struggling the past couple of weeks in my Quantitative Reasoning class. I am so lost. I don't know if it's my teacher's teaching method or what, but nothing is clicking for me at the moment, and none of the tutors at my school have even heard of any of this stuff.
I just need help getting this problem started. It says:
Find a formula for the following sequence of numbers:
1,5,12,22,35,51,70,92,117,145,176,210,247,287,330,...
Then it asks to prove the formula is correct by mathematical induction. I think I can do the second part, but I have no clue as to how to come up with a formula.
I appreciate any help. Thanks!
