Step 1
1 of 2

Given expression:

x2+x+11\begin{equation*} x^2 + x + 11 \end{equation*}

Substitute x=1x=1 and evaluate the value of the expression:

(1)2+1+11=13\begin{equation*} (1)^2 + 1 + 11=13 \end{equation*}

Substitute x=2x=2 and evaluate the value of the expression:

(2)2+2+11=17\begin{equation*} (2)^2 + 2 + 11=17 \end{equation*}

Substitute x=3x=3 and evaluate the value of the expression:

(3)2+3+11=23\begin{equation*} (3)^2 + 3 + 11=23 \end{equation*}

Substitute x=4x=4 and evaluate the value of the expression:

(4)2+4+11=31\begin{equation*} (4)^2 + 4 + 11=31 \end{equation*}

Substitute x=5x=5 and evaluate the value of the expression:

(5)2+5+11=41\begin{equation*} (5)^2 + 5 + 11=41 \end{equation*}

Substitute x=6x=6 and evaluate the value of the expression:

(6)2+6+11=53\begin{equation*} (6)^2 + 6 + 11=53 \end{equation*}

Substitute x=7x=7 and evaluate the value of the expression:

(7)2+7+11=67\begin{equation*} (7)^2 + 7 + 11=67 \end{equation*}

Substitute x=8x=8 and evaluate the value of the expression:

(8)2+8+11=83\begin{equation*} (8)^2 + 8 + 11=83 \end{equation*}

This expression generates prime numbers in ascending order.
