Show answer and solution
n, n + 1, n + 2
sum = 3(n + 1) = - a
∴ a^2 = 9(n + 1)^2
Sum of the roots taken 2 at a time = + b
∴ n(n + 1) + (n + 1)(n + 2) + (n + 2)n + 1 = b + 1
n^2 + n + n^2 + 3n + 2 + n^2 + 2n + 1 = b + 1
∴ b + 1 = 3n^2 + 6n + 3

sum = 3(n + 1) = - a
∴ a^2 = 9(n + 1)^2
Sum of the roots taken 2 at a time = + b
∴ n(n + 1) + (n + 1)(n + 2) + (n + 2)n + 1 = b + 1
n^2 + n + n^2 + 3n + 2 + n^2 + 2n + 1 = b + 1
∴ b + 1 = 3n^2 + 6n + 3
