'Changing Difference' Sequences

The general term for term number 'n' , common diff. 'd' , first term 'a' and difference change 'c'is:

a+d(n-1)+c/2(n-1)(n-2)

a = 1
d = 1 (first difference)

1  2  4  7   11
  1  2  3   4

    1  1  1

c = 1 (final difference)

a+d(n-1)+c/2(n-1)(n-2)

1+(n-1)+0.5(n-1)(n-2)

1+n-1+0.5(n^2 -3n + 2)

1+n-1+0.5n^2 - 1.5n + 1

0.5n^2 -0.5n + 1.

Keeping up with everything here is so hard! :P At times, there are like 7 replies once you click submit.

Anyway, I'm having an offline revision today, so later guys.

And BEST OF LUCK! :D

The examiner is fond of investigating questions, so
1. Probability
2. Sequence
Both are for sure.

As transformations and graphs are considered 'easy' and of 'free marks' by the examiner, and as they appeared in N09, I can bet there won't be any this session.

Umm, statistcs.
Also, angle properties!
And trignometry!
And, ofcourse, the first question, relating to percentages.
