What is the rule of this sequence?
10, 15, 25, 40, 60, 

how do u get the rule and what type of sequence is this

 

nand0d1110+5215+5+10325+5+15440+5+20560

 

This is an Arithmetic Sequences Second order
an2+bn+c=an with a, b, and c integers

 

n=1:a12+b1+c=10n=2:a22+b2+c=15n=3:a32+b3+c=40(1)a+b+c=10(2)4a+2b+c=15(3)9a+3b+c=25a=52b=52c=10an=52n252n+10

That's cool. 

I saw the pattern, but had no idea how to write it into a function. 

 

=^._.^=

Question:    Can you just write this as a recursive sequence

    a1 =10   ,   an = an-1   + 5 ( n-1)            ?????

 

Thanx !    ~ EP

I  think  you  are correct, EP......excellent spot   !!!

 

The  series is

 

10,  15, 25, 40 , 60     .......

 

Heureka's  is  explicit   ( we  can find any term)

 

Yours  is  recursive   ( good  if  we  know  the nth term )

 

cool cool cool
