Observe the number arrangement in the table below. The second number in the nth row (n ≥ 2) is___ .

Observe the number arrangement in the table below. The second number in the nth row (n ≥ 2) is___ .

The second number in the nth line (n ≥ 2) is 2, 4, 7, 11, 16 respectively Denote as sequence {an}, then a3-a2 = 2, a4-a3 = 3 So A3 = A2 + 2, A4 = A3 + 3 = A2 + 2 + 3 So an = A2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + +(n-1) = 2 + (n-2) (2 + n-1) 2 = n2-n + 22
