Thanks  alot  :) :D


--- End quote ---

s= a + (n - 1) d

d = common difference lik 2, 2, 2, ..
a = first term of sequence

..

Malak:
can anyone tell how to find the invariant line?

help for sequences

Changing difference sequence formula

a + (n-1)d + 0.5(n-1)(n-2)C

Where -
a = the first term
d = the first difference
C = The difference increase.

an example of its use-
sequence: 3, 5, 9, 15, 24, ...

a + (n-1)d + 0.5(n-1)(n-2)C
3 + (n-1)2 + 0.5(n-1)(n-2)2
3 + 2n - 2 + n2 - 2n - n + 2

= 3 + n2 - n

Proof, by finding the 4th term:

3 + n2 - n
3 + 16 - 4
