Given a positive integer N, the task is to find the Nth term of the series
3, 10, 21, 36, 55...till N terms
Examples:
Input: N = 4
Output: 36Input: N = 6
Output: 78
Approach:
From the given series, find the formula for Nth term-
1st term = 1 * ( 2(1) + 1 ) = 3
2nd term = 2 * ( 2(2) + 1 ) = 10
3rd term = 3 * ( 2(3) + 1 ) = 21
4th term = 4 * ( 2(4) + 1 ) = 36
.
.
Nth term = N * ( 2(N) + 1 )
The Nth term of the given series can be generalized as-
TN = N * ( 2(N) + 1 )
Illustration:
Input: N = 10
Output: 210
Explanation:
TN = N * ( 2(N) + 1 )
= 10 * ( 2(10) + 1 )
= 210
Below is the implementation of the above approach-
210
Time Complexity: O(1) // since no loop is used the algorithm takes up constant time to perform the operations
Auxiliary Space: O(1) // since no extra array is used so the space taken by the algorithm is constant
