A rare bacterial culture is being grown in a lab. As time passes, the cells multiply in a specific pattern. After 1 day, there is only 1 cell. After 2 days, there are 8 cells. After 3 days, there are 18 cells. After 4 days, there are 31 cells. How many cells will there be after seven days?

Well, from day 1 to day two, there is a difference of 7 from day 2 to day 3, there's a difference of 10 from day 3 to day 4 there's a difference of 13. What does this suggest about the following days? What pattern does this increase take? Obviously, it's adding right? But by how much?
