How to Calculate the Sum of the Numbers in the Nth row of a Triangle in Golang

The challenge

Given the triangle of consecutive odd numbers:

             1
          3     5
       7     9    11
   13    15    17    19
21    23    25    27    29
...

Calculate the sum of the numbers in the n^th row of this triangle (starting at index 1) e.g.: (Input –> Output)

1 -->  1
2 --> 3 + 5 = 8

The solution in Golang

Option 1:

package solution

func RowSumOddNumbers(n int) int {
    return n * n * n
}

Option 2:

package solution

import "math"

func RowSumOddNumbers(n int) int {
    return int(math.Pow(float64(n), 3))
}

Option 3:

package solution

func RowSumOddNumbers(n int) int {
  res := 0
  for i := (n - 1) * n + 1; i < n * (n + 1); i = i + 2 {
    res = res + i
  }
  return res
}
