Default How to determine the formula to generate following numbers?

Thank everyone for suggestions
Those number is based on Arithmetic rhythm
1.333, 1.500, 1.667, 1.750, 2.000, 3.000
There is the given list from articles, and not much description about it.
Does anyone have any idea about the structure for this Arithmetic rhythm?
Thank for any suggestions

get an approximate result.

A 3rd order polynomial give a good approximation

y = 0.0417x3 - 0.3575x2 + 1.043x + 0.582


You may be right, but my gut tells me there are probably several other
polynomials, of completely different shapes, that could also pass through or
near those points. Perhaps if Eric provides more details (for example, as to
where these numbers come from or what they are supposed to be modeling),
then maybe we can make better guesses for him.
