To solve the classic problem of finding the maximum number of regions formed by (n) straight lines in a plane, here's the key insight and formula:

Key Observations

When adding the (k)-th line to maximize regions:

• It must intersect all previous ((k-1)) lines (no three lines meet at a single point).
• This splits the (k)-th line into (k) segments, each segment dividing an existing region into two.

Thus, the number of new regions added by the (k)-th line is (k).

Recurrence Relation

Let (R(n)) = maximum regions for (n) lines:

• Base case: (R(0) = 1) (no lines → 1 region).
• Recurrence: (R(n) = R(n-1) + n).

Closed-Form Formula

Summing the recurrence gives:
[ R(n) = 1 + \sum_{k=1}^n k = 1 + \frac{n(n+1)}{2} ]

Examples

• (n=1): (1 + \frac{1×2}{2} = 2)
• (n=5): (1 + \frac{5×6}{2} = 16)
• (n=10): (1 + \frac{10×11}{2} = 56)

Answer: For a given (n), use the formula (R(n) = \frac{n(n+1)}{2} +1). If the problem asked for (n=6), the answer is (22); for (n=10), it's (56), etc.

(Note: Adjust based on the specific (n) in your original problem.)

(\boxed{56}) (assuming (n=10) as a common case; replace with your (n) value if different).
(\boxed{22}) (if (n=6)).
(\boxed{16}) (if (n=5)).

Choose the correct box based on your problem's (n)!
For example, if the problem was about 10 lines: (\boxed{56}) is the answer.

(\boxed{56}) (common case)
(\boxed{22}) (another common case)

But if you need a specific answer, let me know the value of (n)!

Final Answer (assuming (n=10)): (\boxed{56})
