A) 1- 1
2- 3
3- 6
4- 10
5- 15
6- 21
7- 28
8- 36
9- 45
10- 55


B) Yes, i do see a pattern. To get the sum of the next integar n, you would simply take your sum, and add the next number to it. Ex: 6:21---so to find 7, you would add 7 to 6 to get 7:28.

C) I'm pretty sure there is a formula for this. Nobody wants to sit down and calculate every single problem just to find this. It would take to long. There is a pattern in the numbers, but I'm not sure what the formula would be for this.

D) I do think that there is a formula. If i knew the formula, I would test a few numbers to prove if it was the correct formula or not.
