Follow-up Question

Thank you for your quick response! That clarifies a great deal!

How do you determine the 1^2 + (1-1), 2^2 + (2-1), and so on? What makes the number squared? The textbook does an awful job of explaining how to draw conclusions from these sequences so I'm a bit lost as I'm not used to conceptualizing equations in this way.
