Homework Statement
1+13+37+73...+[(n/2)(2+(n-1)12)-n+1]= [(n/2)(2+(n-1)12)-n+1]
Homework Equations
The numbers are actual data that I found and the equation on the right side is the general formula I found. Am I setting up the proof wrong by repeating the formula on the left side.
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to do an induction proof. But because the Formula on the left side is a sum of everything before it I don't think it can be proofed because the right side is the same equation. Is there any other way to test the validity of the statement?
