Given a number N. The task is to write a program to find the Nth term of the below series:
 

4, 14, 28, 46, 68, 94, 124, 158…..(N Terms)

Examples: 
 

Input: N = 4
Output: 46
For N = 4
4th Term = ( 2 * 4 * 4 + 4 * 4 - 2) 
         = 46

Input: N = 10
Output: 237

 

Approach: The generalized Nth term of this series: 
 

nth\: Term\: of\: the\: series\: = 2*n^2+4*n-2 

Below is the required implementation: 
 

C++




// CPP program to find the N-th term of the series:
// 4, 14, 28, 46, 68, 94, 124, 158, .....
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
 
// calculate Nth term of series
int nthTerm(int n)
{
    return 2 * pow(n, 2) + 4 * n - 2;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int N = 4;
 
    cout << nthTerm(N) << endl;
 
    return 0;
}

Java




// Java program to find the N-th term of the series:
// 4, 14, 28, 46, 68, 94, 124, 158, .....
import java.util.*;
 
class solution
{
  
// calculate Nth term of series
static int nthTerm(int n)
{
 
    return 2 *(int)Math.pow(n, 2) + 4 * n - 2;
 
}
 
//Driver code
public static void main(String arr[])
{
    int N = 4;
 
   System.out.println(nthTerm(N));
}
}

# calculate Nth term of series
def nthTerm(n):
 
    return 2 * pow(n, 2) + 4 * n - 2
 
# Driver code

{
 
// calculate Nth term of series
static int nthTerm(int n)
{
    return 2 * (int)Math.Pow(n, 2) +
                             4 * n - 2;

// calculate Nth term of series
function nthTerm($n)
{
    return 2 * pow($n, 2) + 4 * $n - 2;
}
 
// Driver code
$N = 4;
 
echo nthTerm($N) . "\n";

Javascript




<script>
// JavaScript program to find the N-th term of the series:
// 4, 14, 28, 46, 68, 94, 124, 158, .....
 
// calculate Nth term of series
function nthTerm( n)
{
    return 2 * Math.pow(n, 2) + 4 * n - 2;
}
 
// Driver code
let N = 4;
 
   document.write( nthTerm(N) );
 
// This code contributed by gauravrajput1
 
</script>

Output: 

46

 

Time Complexity: O(1), since there is no loop or recursion.

Space Complexity: O(1) since using constant variables
