Consecutive Odd Integers
Consecutive odd integers are odd integers that immediately follow one another. Like consecutive even integers, consecutive odd integers are separated by units.
If the first odd integer is represented by , then:
- = 1st odd integer
- = 2nd consecutive odd integer
- = 3rd consecutive odd integer
The algebraic representation is identical in form to that of consecutive even integers—using increments of —because both even and odd numbers are spaced two units apart within their respective sequences.
