2004 (year: 1) => x = 1 x=1

2005 (year: 2) => x + ( y e a r 1 ) = 2 x+(year-1)=2

2006 (year: 3) => x + ( y e a r 1 ) = 4 x+(year-1)=4

2007 (year: 4) => x + ( y e a r 1 ) = 7 x+(year-1)=7

. . . . . .

2013 (year: 10) => x + ( y e a r 1 ) = 46 x+(year-1)=46

2014 (year: 11) => x + ( y e a r 1 ) = 46 + ( 11 1 ) = 46 + 10 = 56 x+(year-1)=46+(11-1)=46+10=\boxed{56}

The pattern is +1, +2, +3.....+9, +10

There is a pattern when you subtract the value of a position by the previous position

# of Trophies Δa
1
2 1
4 2
7 3

Thus, as we continue the sequence, when the Δa equals 11, the # of trophies equals 56 56
