Given a number N, the task is to find the Nth term of this series:

3, 7, 13, 21, 31, …….

Examples: 

Input: N = 4
Output: 21
Explanation:
Nth term = (pow(N, 2) + N + 1)
= (pow(4, 2) + 4 + 1)
= 21
Input: N = 11
Output: 133

Approach:
Sum = 0+3+7+13+21+31+........+a_{n-1} + a_n\\ Sum = 3+7+13+21+31+...+a_{n-2}+a_{n-1}+a_n
Subtracting these two equations we get 
 0=3+\left \{\frac{n-1}{2}\right \}[2*4 + (n-2)*2]-a_n\\ =3+\left \{\frac{n-1}{2}\right \}[8 + 2n-4]-a_n\\ =3+\left \{\frac{n-1}{2}\right \}[2n+4]-a_n\\ a_n=3+(n-1)(n+2)\\ a_n=n^2+n+1
Therefore, the Nth Term of the given series is: 

a_n=n^2+n+1

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++

// CPP program to find the Nth term of given series.
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate sum
long long int getNthTerm(long long int N)
{
    // Return Nth term
    return (pow(N, 2) + N + 1);
}
 
// driver code
int main()
{
    // declaration of number of terms
    long long int N = 11;
 
    // Get the Nth term
    cout << getNthTerm(N);
 
    return 0;
}

                    

Java

// Java code to find the Nth term of given series.
import java.util.*;
 
class solution
{
 
// Function to calculate sum
static long getNthTerm(long N)
{
     
   // Return Nth term
    return ((int)Math.pow(N, 2) + N + 1);
}
 
//Driver program
public static void main(String arr[])
{
     
   // declaration of number of terms
    long N = 11;
 
    // Get the Nth term
    System.out.println(getNthTerm(N));
 
}
}

Space Complexity: O(1) since using constant variables
 

Method 2: We can also solve the problem by the formula [ (n+1)2-n  ]. 

C++

// CPP program to find the Nth term of given series.
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate sum
long long int getNthTerm(long long int N)
{
    // Return Nth term
    return (pow(N + 1, 2) - N);
}
 
// driver code
int main()
{
    // declaration of number of terms
    long long int N = 11;
 
    // Get the Nth term
    cout << getNthTerm(N);
 
    return 0;
}

                    

Java

// Nikunj Sonigara
 
public class Main {
 
    static long getNthTerm(long N) {
        return (long) (Math.pow(N + 1, 2) - N);
    }
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        long N = 11;
        System.out.println(getNthTerm(N));
    }
}
