Re: number sequences

I have a sequence to share with everyone
Its name is Even Squares and it goes like this: 4, 16, 36, 64, 100, 144, 196, 256, 324, 400, 484, 576, 676, 784, 900, 1024, 1156, 1296, 1444, 1600, 1764, 1936, 2116, 2304, 2500, 2704, 2916, 3136, 3364, 3600, 3844, 4096, 4356, 4624, 4900, 5184, 5476, 5776, 6084, 6400, 6724, 7056, 7396, 7744, 8100, 8464, 8836, 9216, 9604, ...

These are the first 49 terms of the sequence of which
the first term is 4,
the second term is 16, and
the third term is 36. Now
     4 is   2 times  2, and   2 is  1 plus  1.
   16 is   4 times  4, and   4 is  2 plus  2.
   36 is   6 times  6, and   6 is  3 plus  3.
   64 is   8 times  8, and   8 is  4 plus  4.
100 is 10 times 10, and 10 is  5 plus  5.
144 is 12 times 12, and 12 is  6 plus  6.
196 is 14 times 14, and 14 is  7 plus  7.

Re: number sequences

Hi sabdulsamee,
Welcome to the forum.
The nth term of the series you have given is (2n)²,
thus the first term would be (2 x 1)²=2² = 4
and the second would be (2 x 2)²=4² = 16, and so on.
The differences of the terms of this series would form an Arithmetic Progression.
The differences are 12, 20, 28, 36, 44, 52, .....
You can see that the common difference of the terms in the series is 8.
