    The first set of differences is 1,3,5,7,9,11

    second set of difference = 2 so this is a quadratic sequence with first term n^2

    subtract n^2 from the sequence:-

    -4 - 3 0 5

    1 4 9 16

    -5 - 7 - 9 - 11

    This last series is an AP with nth term = - 5-2 (n - 1)

    so nth term for original series is n^2 - 5 - 2 (n - 1)

    = n^2 - 2n - 3 answer
