Question
Let \(\{a_n\}_{n \geq 0}\) be a sequence defined by \(a_n = n^2 + 2n - 3\) for every \(n \geq 0\).

a) Find the first 3 (elements) of the sequence.

b) Show that the sequence satisfies the recurrence relation  
\[ a_n = 2a_{n-1} - a_{n-2} + 2 \]  
for every \(n \geq 2\).

c) Find a closed formula for the first difference of the sequence \(\{a_n\}_{n \geq 0}\), i.e., \(\Delta a_n = a_{n+1} - a_n\) for every \(n \geq 0\).
