Hello,

"Square the term number, multiply the result by 3, subtract the term number, and divide the result by 2" is the correct answer.

Assume n the term number

U (n) = (x²*3-x) / 2

U (1) = (3*1-1) / 2=2/2=1

U (2) = (3*4-2) / 2=10/2=5

U (3) = (3*9-3) / 2=24/2=12

U (4) = (3*16-4) / 2=44/2=22

U (5) = (3*25-5) / 2=70/2=35

U (6) = (3*36-6) / 2=102/2=51
