Answer:
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = (n + 1)²
Step-by-step explanation:
The terms are square numbers with each term shifted to the right by 1
That is 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, .....
Thus to obtain 4 in the first position, then
n = 1 → (1 + 1)² = 2² = 4
To obtain any term add 1 to its position in the sequence, that is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = (n + 1)²
