Yes, that is correct. The sum of the squares of the first n odd numbers is equal to 1/3n(4n²-1).

The given equation is not true in general. The left-hand side is the sum of squares of odd numbers, while the right-hand side is a function of n.
The left-hand side can be expanded as:
1² + 3² + 5² + ... + (2n-1)² = 1 + 9 + 25 + ... + (4n² - 1) = 4n² - 1
The right-hand side is:
1/3n(4n²-1) = (4n²-1)/3n
Therefore, the left-hand side and the right-hand side are not equal for all values of n.
The left-hand side can be expanded as:
1² + 3² + 5² + ... + (2n-1)² = 1 + 9 + 25 + ... + (4n² - 1) = 4n² - 1
The right-hand side is:
1/3n(4n²-1) = (4n²-1)/3n
Therefore, the left-hand side and the right-hand side are not equal for all values of n.
