The sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 51. what is the second number in this sequence?

Find the missing factor. 7s2 + 25s + 12 = (s + 3)( ).

Use mathematical induction to prove the statement is true for all positive integers n, or show why it is false. 1^2 + 4^2 + 7^2 + + (3n - 2)^2 = [n(6n^2-3n-1)/2]
