What is the 100th term? 2007-06-15
From George:
I have the sequence 50,120,235,406,644

the 1st difference is 70,115,171,238
the 2nd difference is 45,56,67
the 3rd difference is 11,11


i used the a*n^3+b*n^2+c*n+d rule but the a turns out to be a decimal because 11/6 is 1.833333333 and so i cant find the formula for the 100th term term.
