Let a sequence $\{u_n\}$ be defined by $u_1=5$ and the relationship $u_{n+1}-u_n=3+4(n-1), n=1,2,3\cdots.$If $u_n$ is expressed as a polynomial in $n$, the algebraic sum of its coefficients is:
$\text{(A) 3} \quad \text{(B) 4} \quad \text{(C) 5} \quad \text{(D) 6} \quad \text{(E) 11}$
Note that the first differences create a linear function, so the sequence ${u_n}$ is quadratic.
The first three terms of the sequence are $5$, $8$, and $15$.  From there, a [system of equations](https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/System_of_equations) can be written.
\[a+b+c=5\]
\[4a+2b+c=8\]
\[9a+3b+c=15\]
Solve the system to get $a=2$, $b=-3$, and $c=6$.  The sum of the coefficients is $\boxed{\textbf{(C) } 5}$.

Note: Solving the system is extra work, as the answer is described by the first equation. The sum of the coefficients ($a + b + c$) is just 5 by the first equation.
