For b), the general formula should be :


p × (2p - 1)

= 2p² - p


Total in pattern 15 :


2(15²) - 15

= 2(225) - 15

= 450 - 15

= 435


The +1 should be inside the square brackets

Alternative for a)

4 × (pattern number - 1) + 1


Eg.


Pattern 1 → 4 × 0 + 1 = 1

Pattern 2 → 4 × 1 + 1 = 5

Pattern 3 → 4 × 2 + 1 = 9

Pattern 4 → 4 × 3 + 1 = 13
