write a polynomial that represents the sum off an odd integers 2n+1 and the next two consecutive odd integers

2 answers

consecutive odd integers are 2 apart, so let's just add 2 to get the next one

2x+1 + 2 = 2x+3
2x+3 + 2 = 2x + 5

so the polynomial
= 2x+1 + 2x+3 + 2x + 5
= 6x + 9
Reiny is correct.
