Answer 9

not a hard fast method, you just have to analyse the problem.
n^2 is correct. because you insert which ever n you want to examine and it will return the proper value. It is not asking for a formula to predict terms in a given range, so n^2 satisfies the question.

Answer 10

if it asks for the "next" term then your (n+1)^2 satisfies it.
