len(arr)-1
Σ(arri-arri-1)²
i=1
len(arr) is the size of the array.
Insert any integer at any location of the array such that the cost of the array is minimized. Find the minimum possible cost of the array after inserting exactly one element.
Example a= [1, 3, 5, 2, 10]
The cost of the array before insertion =(1-37+(3-57+(5-2)²+(2-102²= 81.
Two of many scenarios are shown below.
1. Insert 4 between 3 and 5, cost of array = (1-37+(3-47+(4-57+(5-2)²+(2
107²2² = 79.
2. Insert 6 between 2 and 10, cost of array =(1-37+(3-5)+(5-27²+(2-67² + (6
107² = 49.
It can be proven that 49 is the minimum cost possible. Return 49.

FUNCTION
→ arr =
arr [4, 7, 1, 4]
Sample Output
36
Explanation
The cost of the array before insertion = (4-77 +(7-17 +(1-47²=54. Insert 5 between 4 and 7, cost = (4-5)2+(5-77 +(7-17+(1-47-50.
Insert 4 between 7 and 1, cost = (4-7)+(7 - 47² + (4 - 17² + (1 - 47)²=36.
