Use the following pattern to complete parts (a) and (b) below: 15 + 45 = 15.2², 15 + 45 + 75 = 15.3², 15 + 45 + 75 + 105 = 15.4². a. Conjecture a generalization based on this pattern. Choose the correct answer below: A. The sum of the terms is 15.20+1 B. The sum of the terms is 15n² C. The sum of the terms is 15n D. The sum of the terms is 15(n+1)
