Re: Re: finding explicit rule for series


This is easy to prove. Just write

n[i]-n[i-1]   ==  5342543
n[i-1]-n[i-2] == 5342543
......................
n[2]-n[1]    == 5342543
n[1]-n[0]     == 5342543

and now add up.
Of course you can also prove it by induction.

(I failed to notice posting. Maybe someone has already posted the above 
proof, in which case I apologise for the duplication).
