Question

From the pattern, we can say that the sum of the first n positive odd numbers is equal to the square of the n-th positive number. Putting that into formula:
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + ...  n =  n2, where the left hand side consists of n terms. 

Solution

Observe the following pattern
              1 + 3 = 22
       1 + 3 + 5 = 32
1 + 3 × 5 + 7 = 42
and write the value of 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + ... upto n terms.
