Observe the following equations: 12-02 = 1; 22-12 = 3; 32-22 = 5; 42-32 = 7 Let's use an equation with natural number n to show that the law you find is______ .

Observe the following equations: 12-02 = 1; 22-12 = 3; 32-22 = 5; 42-32 = 7 Let's use an equation with natural number n to show that the law you find is______ .

∵ 12-02 = 1 = 1 + 0; 22-12 = 3 = 2 + 1; 32-22 = 5 = 3 + 2; 42-32 = 7 = 4 + 3, ∵ (n + 1) 2-n2 = (n + 1) + n = 2n + 1
