Explanation

The sequence is 0, 3, 8, 15... which is n^2 - 1 for n = 1, 2, 3, 4. The 24th term is 24^2 - 1 = 576 - 1 = 575.

AI explanation

The sequence follows the pattern of the term's position squared minus one, giving the formula n^2 minus 1. For the 24th term, calculate 24 squared minus 1. Since 24 squared is 576, subtracting 1 gives 575.
