To represent the number of squares after steps, Diego and Jada wrote different equations. Diego wrote the equation f(n)= (n+1) 2 . Jada wrote the equation f(n) = n 2+ 2n + 1. Are either Diego or Jada correct? Explain your reasoning.

I hope this is right

nether of them are corrcet

Step-by-step explanation:

the steps are added by length and hight  

idk lol

step-by-step explanation:

, and

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
